In an embodiment, a container includes a dispensing opening, a closure and a plurality of walls. At least one of the walls includes a non-uniform surface structured so that the dispensing closure can be disposed on the surface when the container is in its dispensing position. In another preferred embodiment, the top wall of the container includes a vent, a vent cap forming a closure for the vent, a handle, a pouring aperture and a pouring closure covering the pouring aperture. The top surfaces of the vent cap, the handle and the pouring closure are generally parallel, and the heights of the top surfaces of the vent cap and the pouring closure are within an inch of the height of the top surface of the handle. In another preferred embodiment, the top wall of the container includes a handle extending from a handle base within the top wall. A pouring aperture is surrounded by a pouring aperture base which also extends from the top wall. In accordance with this preferred aspect of the invention, the pouring aperture base is isolated from the interior handle base by the handle base exterior.

Container

A shipping and display case or carton which is suitable for shipping and displaying consumer and other goods which are packaged in high unit volume. The display case enjoys excellent compressive strength so that the cases may be stacked one upon the other notwithstanding the substantial weight of the high unit volume consumer products, e.g. 300 fluid oz. heavy duty liquid detergent container. The display panel of the display case includes a bottom zone and lines of weakness on either side thereof. The bottom zone may be pulled downwardly to sever the lines of weakness and make it easier to slide the containers out of the display case. Moreover, the display panel also includes side zones which may be severed from the bottom closure of the display case and swung into positions in which they do not obstruct the egress of products from the display case.
