Abstract
The invention describes a liquids package includes a tube formed by a longitudinal sealing seam and a bottom. A cover, which consists of thermoplastics synthetic material with no carrier mateial, is molded onto the tube and comprises a pourer device. The tube consists of coated cardboard. The bottom is tetragonal and is constructed from the folded-over tube as a folded-over closure. A handle connected to the cover is mounted laterally on the tube and below the cover. To allow the end user ease of handling and so that the package can be space-savingly stored and transported, while ensuring that the package can be produced from a flat strip of cardboard, while forming a quadrilateral outer contour of the package, the outside dimensions of the bottom are equal to the tetragonal cross-sectional dimensions of the package from the bottom to the cover. The handle together with the cover is injection molded on within the quadrilateral outer contours of the package.
