The present invention provides a peelable polymeric layer structure having a first sealant layer including an ethylene-containing polymer, and a second sealant layer including a polypropylene-containing polymer attached to the first sealant layer along a peelable seal. The present invention also provides an overpouch container including a first sidewall having a first sealant layer of an ethylene-containing polymer, and a second sidewall having a second sealant layer of a propylene containing polymer. The second sealant layer is attached to the first sealant layer along a peelable peripheral seal.
