A container (10) is produced from a spiral-shaped, bent sheet strip (20) having a first edge section (22) extending in a spiral shape, being bent, and forming a bending edge (24) extending in a spiral shape toward the inside or the outside of the container (10). The sheet strip (20) has a second edge section (32) opposite the first edge section (22) in the longitudinal direction of the sheet strip (20) and extends in a spiral shape. The second edge section (32) overlaps a third section (28) opposite the first edge section (22) in relation to the bending edge (24) and is adjacent to the bending edge (24). The second edge section (32) and the third section (28) are welded to each other in the region of the overlap (30). The welding seam (40) extends at least partially into the region between the second edge section (32) and the third section (28) of the sheet strip (20).
