Described is a liquid pack comprising a tube (1) with a bottom and a top (7) disposed at the ends thereof, wherein the top (7) comprises thermoplastic material, is injection-moulded on the tube (1) and has a pouring means (8). The bottom is quadrangular and in the form of a folded closure formed from the folded-over tube (1) of the pack. A handle (11) which is connected to the top (7) is disposed in such a way that the handle (11, 17) together with the top (7) is arranged within the parallelepipedic outside contour of the pack. In order to provide a better handle in a simpler configuration with a large number of packs per unit of time, the invention provides that the tube (1) is formed from a plastics foil in which there are formed two mutually oppositely disposed gripping recesses (11) which, starting from the top (7), extend into the middle region (18) of the pack, and the cross-section of the pack in its upper portion with the gripping recesses (11) substantially corresponds to the shape of the top (7), the periphery of which is substantially as long as the periphery of the pack in the vicinity of its bottom.
