The present invention proposes a packaging (1) for a food product such as a gel comprising a first sheet (2) comprising at least one folded portion (4) of sheet material which runs across the first sheet, the sheet material in the folded portion (4) being joined together in a peelable seal (6), a second sheet (3) comprising at least one folded portion (5) of sheet material which runs across the second sheet, the sheet material in the folded portion (5) being at joined together in a peelable seal (7). The first and second sheets (2,3) are joined together defining a product cavity (8), the first and second sheets (2,3) are positioned such that two folded portions (4,5) protrude outwardly and are arranged opposite such that by pulling in a direction transverse to that of the folded portions, the two peelable seals (6,7) are peeled apart and an aperture (9,10) be created in each side of the packaging providing access to the product cavity (8). The invention also relates to a method for making such a packaging.
