Abstract
A paperboard carton and blank therefor having a reclosable spout. The spout includes a main spout member and a secondary spout member. The main spout member is defined by a fold line, first and second tear-away members extending from the fold line and a third tear-away member interconnecting the first and second tear-away members. The secondary spout member is defined by a second fold line and the third tear-away member. Each tear-away member is formed from two cut lines, one on the exterior surface of the paperboard and the other on the interior surface, neither penetrating the full thickness of the paperboard. After the tear-away members are torn-away, the secondary spout member is overlapped onto the exterior of the main spout member to reclose the spout.
