A peel-openable package includes a lid. The led includes a sheet member located at a position corresponding to a container portion of a package main body, and a film member bonded to a surface of the sheet member. Cutouts running in a thickness direction of the members and are formed in a peel region defined in a foldable portion of the members. The cutouts and cross a longitudinal direction L and are away from each other by a predetermined interval extending in the longitudinal direction. Facing surfaces of the sheet member and the film member, which are in the peel region corresponding to an area between the cutouts, are bonded together so as to be peelable from each other by an adhesive layer.
