A container 100 comprises a panel 102 which defines one or more pockets 104 within its surface which are intended for holding a product 130. A closure layer 106 is disposed on the panel for sealing the pockets and a peelable label 108 is in turn disposed on the closure layer. A first portion 110 of the label is permanently secured to the closure layer whilst a second portion 112 of the label is releasably adhered to the closure layer. The label may further include a finger lift tab 116 and a laminate with a lower layer 124 and upper layer 120, the lower layer having a cut at the junction between the first and second portions. The container may be used to store pharmaceuticals and the label may also include printed information. An advantage of the invention is that the label adds an additional degree of protection to the closure layer, which will help prevent accidental fracture of the layer such as during transport.
