Abstract
A sterilizing container is provided with a seal. The container has a lower part, a cover sealingly placeable thereon, and a closure for securing the cover on the lower part. A seal secures the closure in the closed position. The seal is formed in a planar substrate, such as paper or paperboard, and includes a bar or finger insert element that is insertable into a loop that projects from the closure of the container. The seal is provided with a region adjacent to the free end of the insert element that is coated with contact adhesive. This region is foldable along a fold line to form an unreleasable seal with the free end of the insert element.
