Abstract
A reclosable container is illustrated and described, having a rectangular base, four lateral surfaces positioned essentially perpendicularly to one another (body surfaces ()), a head region, sealed using a rib seam () after the container is filled, and a closure element (), positioned on a slanted surface () in the head region, in which the container volume can be used optimally without losing the advantages of the known container in regard to production, filling, and sealing. The container is folded in this case so that the slanted surface () carrying the closure element () at least partially projects out of the rectangular profile predetermined by the base, so that the body surface () located below the closure element has a protuberance and the body surface lying opposite the projecting body surface () has a corresponding indentation, at least in the head region.
