Abstract
An all plastic carton housing a fluid is provided with integral, kidney-shaped depressions in adjacent side walls of the carton to serve as handle members to aid in pouring the fluid contents from the carton. The carton also includes an integral pouring spout having a center line axis lying in a diagonal plane between the side walls of the carton provided with the handle-forming depressions to complement the handles in enabling accurate pouring of the fluid contents of the carton while grasping and tilting the carton. The spout is also formed so as to lie flat on top of the carton when closed thereby facilitating compact shipment and storage and display where shelf space is at a premium.
