Abstract
A reclosable dispensing package which has a thin plastic fitment mounted over a cutout area in the closure flaps of a seal end carton. The fitment is affixed to the outer (last-folded) major flap. When the carton is flattened tubular form, the caliper of the fitment-equipped closure flaps is minimized by providing a second cutout area in the inner (first-folded) major flap, sized and located to receive a projecting end of the fitment therein. Minimizing caliper permits shipment in more compact form and enables packing machine operators to place greater numbers of cartons in the machine hoppers.
