Abstract
A carton for containing and protecting hygroscopic materials is provided and includes an integral pouring spout. The carton includes overlying end closure panels each having an array of partially penetrating cut lines on its inner and outer surfaces and cooperating perforations with through-cuts. A leader tab is provided on an outer end panel and an inner panel has a spout hole therein. The array of cut lines on the panels enables areas of delamination to be created, to lift a cover panel and expose the spout hole when the leader tab is pulled. The cover panel, the leader tab and a cut along the lead edge of the spout hole provide convenient reclosing of the carton. A flat blank for forming into the carton is also encompassed.
