Abstract
A valve () is provided for sealing an evacuation port () in a port area () of a wall structure () of a container. The valve () comprises a casing () having a shell portion () which is deformable from an open condition, whereat the shell portion () forms a chamber () over the port area (), and a closed condition, whereat the shell portion () contacts the port area (). When the shell portion () is in its open condition, gas exits from the chamber () through gas-releasing holes () in the casing (). When the shell portion () is deformed to its closed condition, a port-sealing adhesive () adheres to the port area () to thereby seal the evacuation port ().
