Abstract
A rigid thermoplastic squeeze container having a self-sealing dispensing valve, for use with flowable substances, has a cylindrical shell with a body portion, a first sealable open end and an opposite end having a head portion with a dispensing orifice closed off by a self-sealing valve. A thermoplastic cylindrical support sleeve is fitted within the cylindrical body portion which extends from a position adjacent the head portion to a location spaced from the sealable end of the cylindrical body portion of the shell, such that that end can be sealed. The cylindrical shell and cylindrical body portion may be bonded together, and the head portion of the cylindrical body portion of the shell may have a downwardly depending flange to trap an end of the cylindrical support sleeve between the flange and the cylindrical body portion.
