A folding pour spout, particularly, for detergent cartons. The spout is formed from a spout blank preferably comprising a single thin sheet of plastic. The spout blank includes a first spout-forming panel having a pull tab, a second spout-forming panel including notches and a panel for attachment to a carton. The reduced thickness of the spout blank facilitates manufacturing of the carton.

Folding pour spout

A plastic closure for cartons which permits controlled dispensing of product. The closure is a fitment comprised of a thin material which is of such a minimal thickness that it does not tend to cause uneven stacking of the cartons when they are in flattened form, prior to their erection. The closure is generally thin enough to be accommodated within a carbon having either a 3- or 4- point rule score and normal score caliper balancing. The closure comprises a base member having an aperture, and a cover member which has a depending plug which fits within the aperture of the base when the cover member is in the closed position.
