A container for consumer goods, the container comprising a first substrate layer and a second substrate layer overlying the first substrate layer. A first portion of the first substrate layer and a first portion of the second substrate layer form a compartment region, wherein a perimeter of the compartment region is completely sealed to form a sealed compartment for containing one or more consumer goods. A second portion of the first substrate layer and a second portion of the second substrate layer form an access region directly adjacent to the compartment region. The access region comprises an unsealed area, wherein a perimeter of the access region extends around the unsealed area. The first substrate layer is attached to the second substrate layer at the perimeter of the access region. The unsealed area is separated from the sealed compartment by the completely sealed perimeter of the compartment region. The container further comprises a line of weakness extending at least partially within the unsealed area of the access region. In the first substrate layer only, the container further comprising a second line of weakness in the second substrate layer only. The second line of weakness has a different shape to the first line of weakness, wherein the difference in shape between the first line of weakness and the second line of weakness defines a closure tab in the second substrate layer in the unsealed area of the access region.
