A container has a hollow receptacle element (10) for holding a medium to be dispensed, and a dispensing opening (12) communicating with a hollow chamber (14) of a sealing element (18). The sealing element (18) is detachable by a point of separation (20). To reduce the free volume of the hollow chamber (14), opposite wall components (22) of the sealing element (18) are displaced into the hollow chamber (14). The dispensing medium stored in the receptacle element (10) is prevented from being able to unintentionally penetrate into the hollow chamber (14) where it would no longer being available for a removal process. The invention also relates to a device for production of such a container.
