Flip top carton with positive side lock

A shaker type reclosable dispensing carton which includes an intermediate top closure flap having poring holes located in a depressible portion of the flap which can be depressed into the plane of an underlying flap, when the carton is reclosed, to allow a hinged outer closure flap pull-up portion to be depressed into the plane of the intermediate flap to effect a friction type locking closure between the intermediate and outer closure flaps.

Reclosable dispensing carton

A one-piece, collapsible, paperboard, dispensing carton having in one side wall adjacent an upper end of the carton an integral pour spout that can be pulled part way out of the carton for dispensing. The pour spout is formed from material of one of the carton side wall panels and has a slit and a projecting tab that are engageable with another carton panel to hold the pour spout in proper open position for dispensing and to prevent the pour spout from being accidentally pulled completely out of the carton.
