Abstract
An adapter is configured with two base platforms, initially tethered together, that separately receive a dispensing tube and attached to a standardized spout fitment at opposite ends. In use, the platforms collapse and lock together, while simultaneously creating an outwardly bellowing section in the tube that can double as a sealing gasket. The adapter is sized to couple to existing spout fitments and tube sizes to allow for easy adoption, while its components may all be constructed from the same polymeric material to facilitate manufacturing and/or recycling.
