Abstract: The invention relates to a container made from a plurality of fiber layers, preferably from craft paper which fiber layers of wall (1) and bottom (2) are interconnected by a hot meltable adhesive. At the location of the connection incisions (14) are made in the wall which extend parallel to the axis of the container and have a cutting plane (14) extending at an acute angle (.alpha.) with the respective tangential plane (167). At the inner side of the lips (13) obtained in this way an adhesive is applied in hot conditions at least at the folding line (8) and only thereafter the lips (13) are folded.The container can have an overhead lid (4), the lid body (5) and disc (7) being made in a corresponding way.
