Package with a sealing region

Abstract

A package ( 1 ) has a sealing region ( 2 ) which comprises a cover ( 3 ) and a sealing cap ( 4 ) which is rotatable in relation to the cover ( 3 ). Both the cover ( 3 ) and the sealing cap ( 4 ) have openings ( 5 ) and ( 6 ) which are eccentric but can be brought into alignment with each other. When said openings lie opposite each other, emptying of the package is possible, if, beforehand, a seal element ( 8 ) which seals the opening ( 5 ) is at least partially removed. The opening ( 6 ) is surrounded by a seal ( 12 ) so that no particles of product can get between cover ( 3 ) and sealing cap ( 4 ) during emptying of the package ( 1 ). The sealing cap ( 4 ) has a closing region ( 7 ) which is surrounded by a seal ( 13 ) and covers the opening ( 5 ) in the cover when the package is to be resealed.
