Tubular container, particularly for food products, comprising a portion of sheet material having an inner surface arrangeable in contact with a related product, two longitudinal edges and two transversal edges, a layer of adhesive material applied over bands of said inner surface which extend along each of said edges, an intermediate band of said inner surface, and a tear-strip which extends in contact with said intermediate band of said inner surface transversely to said longitudinal edges, said sheet being folded so as to bring into mutual contact said bands of said inner surface which are arranged along the longitudinal edges, with the interposition of an end portion of said strip which extends through said longitudinal edges, and said bands of the inner surface which are arranged along the transverse edges, wherein said adhesive material is a cold-adhesive material, a first further layer of cold-adhesive material coating a first surface of said tear-strip which faces said inner surface, and a second further layer of cold-adhesive material coating at least one portion of a second surface of said tear-strip which is opposite to said first surface, said portion of said second surface extending along said end portion of said tear-strip, said tear-strip being secured to said intermediate band for allowing to divide said container into two parts, a part of which must remain intact for protecting said related product until eaten.
