Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a packaging (200) for enclosing a substance (500). A flat sheet (100) made of recyclable paper material and having two opposite side edge sections (101, 102) is provided and formed into a tube (120) by folding the flat sheet (100) so that the two side edge sections (101, 102) overlap each other at an overlapping section (123). The tube (120) is heat sealed along the overlapping section (123) to form a longitudinal sealing joint (130) and heat sealed across the longitudinal sealing joint (130) to close the tube (120) with a first traverse sealing joint (141) at a first tube end (121). The tube (120) is filled with a substance (500) and heat sealed across the longitudinal sealing joint (130) to close the tube (120) with a second traverse sealing joint (142) at a second tube end (122). A first and second amount of glue (300-302) is applied on-FIG.
