Abstract
A method for securing thermoplastic pour spout fitments to thermoplastic-coated containers , wherein at least a surface of the pour spout fitment is heated remotely at heating stations to a temperature significantly below the melting point of the thermoplastic fitment. When the heated fitment surface is applied to a selected surface of an erected, thermoplastic-coated container , the heat energy is transferred to the latter surface to an extent capable of activating the thermoplastic coating thereon. Upon cooling, the fitment and the container surface are bonded together.
