Abstract
A reclosable dispensing package which has a thin plastic fitment mounted over a cutout area in a closure flap of a seal end carton when the carton is in flattened tubular form. The caliper of each flattened tubular sleeve is adjusted to approximately match that of the fitment-equipped closure flaps, the adjustment being effected in regions spaced from the fitment to provide areas of mutual contact on adjacent sleeves which serve to maintain the sleeves in parallel relationship when they are stacked in the hopper of packaging equipment. Such adjustment can be accomplished, for example, through the use of mutually opposed cartonboard embossments, or of thickened glue seams or by fluffing the outside score lines.
