A low scalping laminate material for a container for food packaging includes a core layer of paper or paperboard, a polymeric coating applied to one side of the core layer and a combination of layers disposed on an opposing side of the core layer. The combination of layers includes a first barrier layer disposed adjacent the core layer, a first tie layer adjacent the first barrier layer, a second barrier layer adjacent the first tie layer, a second tie layer adjacent the second barrier layer and a second polymeric coating adjacent the second tie layer. The second polymeric coating is configured for a food contacting surface. The first and second barrier layers are formed from an admixture of an aromatic polyamide resin and polyamide 6, and the first and second tie layers are formed from one of a modified polyethylene and a polyolefin. A carton formed from the low scalping laminate is disclosed.

A cutting device for imparting a partial incision to a blank, the blank produced therefrom, and a method for producing are disclosed herein. The partial incision in the blank creates an access area wherein a fitment is placed thereover in a post processing fitment application. The access area has an uncut portion and an unincised portion. The access area may have a circular shape or an oval shape. The depth of the partial incision allows for facilitated rupturing by the fitment after the blank is fabricated into a carton, and a fitment is attached thereto.
