Abstract
A dispensing container includes a pouring aperture in its upper wall near a fold line which lies between it and the adjacent side wall. The side wall includes a cut line which forms a flap hinged along the above-mentioned fold line. A layer of plastic material extends across the pouring opening and hinged flap for sealing the container until the contents are to be used. When the plastic material is removed, the pouring aperture is opened and the hinged flap folds out of the plane of the side wall to form a pouring lip which directs the flow of contents away from the side wall.
