A resealable flap device in the form of a sheet, for applying to or incorporating in packaging, comprises: a lower layer of flexible material, and an upper layer of stiff material. The sheet is cut through both layers to outline a flap portion, the cut leaving an edge in a hinge region, the upper layer being removed behind the line of the hinge region. In this way the flexible lower layer forms a hinge that is easy to handle and does not spring back, while the stiff upper layer maintains the shape of the flap.

To provide a pouch for achieving a reduced storage space with a simple configuration and a method for manufacturing the pouch. A pouch (10) including a gusset portion (22) includes a pouch main body (20) and an inner supporting member (70) disposed inside the pouch main body (20). The pouch main body (20) includes a content containing portion (21), and a first fixture portion (24) and a second fixture portion (25) that face each other across the content containing portion (21). The inner supporting member (70) includes a first fixing portion (71) fixed to the first fixture portion (24) and a second fixing portion (72) fixed to the second fixture portion (25).

A flexible container (10) is disclosed. The flexible container (10) includes four panels (18, 20, 22, 24), each panel comprising a flexible multilayer film. Each flexible multilayer film is composed of a polymeric material. The four panels form (i) a body, (ii) a neck, and (iii) a handle. The handle (12) has an upper handle portion (12a) and a pair of spaced-apart legs (13, 15). The legs extend from the upper handle portion to the body on opposing sides of the neck. The flexible container includes a fitment (70) sealed to the neck. The flexible container includes a dispensing pump (100) attached to the fitment. The flexible container can provide a metered dose from a dispensing pump and the dispensing pump can also function as a handle to hand-carry the flexible container.
