  • Publication number: 20120241513
    Abstract: It is provided a container having content for transferring through a wall, and it has a storing state and an open state. The container includes a wall having designated holes for transferring content from interior side of the wall to exterior side thereof, and an adhesive label which covers a wall portion including the designated holes and their margins. In storing state, the container content is substantially separated from sticking surface of the label. In open state occurring upon separating the adhesive label from at least part of the wall, apertures associated with the designated holes allow passage of the content through the wall. The designated hole may be filled by a surface element coupled to surrounding wall surface by a weakened border. Thus, separating the adhesive label from at least a part of the wall draws the surface element from the wall, leaving the designated hole open for transferring the content.
