Abstract
The present invention is a carton with a fitment disposed where cartons without fitments conventionally were opened for accessing the contents. The carton has a truncated gable top with a triangular face upon which lies the fitment. The pouring of the product from the carton is similar to the traditional pouring operation from gable top cartons without fitments.
