A flexible storage container (10) is described which comprises a flexible rear sheet (14), and flexible front sheet (12) sealed to the rear sheet along a common peripheral edge (16). A first peelable seal (24) extends between two sides of the common peripheral edge and separably joins the front and rear sheets to form a first compartment (18). A second peelable seal (26) extends between the two sides of the common peripheral edge and separately joins the front and rear sheets to form thereby an outlet compartment (22) and a second compartment (20), the second compartment is intermediate the outlet compartment and the first compartment. A clear high-barrier laminate film (24) is separately disposed upon and sealed to the front sheet and is sized to extend over the second compartment. An opaque high-barrier protective film (55) is peelably affixed to the clear-barrier laminate film, the opaque film is sized to extend over the high-barrier laminate film and the second compartment.
