The present invention relates generally to a process for the production of a container surrounding an interior, comprising the steps a. provision of a planar composite comprising i. a carrier layer, ii. a barrier layer of plastic joined to the carrier layer, iii. at least one layer of thermoplastic plastic KSa joined to the barrier layer of plastic, the at least one layer of plastic optionally being a plastics mixture of at least two plastics, b. folding of the planar composite to form a fold with at least two fold surfaces adjacent to one another and c. joining of respectively at least a part region of the at least two fold surfaces by heating the part region to form a container region, and a container obtainable by this process.
