Abstract
A package has a 'push-pull' type dispensing closure either threadably engaged with or in press-fit engagement with the container mouth. The closure includes an outer skirt that is pliable and inwardly deformable when squeezed and a dispenser plug member selectively positionable to seal or unseal a dispensing orifice. The container has a mouth and a shoulder below the mouth which slants upwardly and inwardly. When the outer skirt of the closure is squeezed inwardly, the lower skirt edge engages the shoulder causing an upward camming of the closure, whereby the plug member unseals the dispensing orifice.
