Abstract
The presently disclosed subject matter is a novel adaptation of a pouch that enables the measurement and dispensing of unit doses of flowable products. Particularly, the pouch comprises a storage compartment that houses a flowable product prior to dispensing. The pouch further includes a dispensing compartment comprising a support member with a fitment to accommodate dispensing out of the pouch. The support member can function to support the pouch, such as for use as a handle or gripping area. Further, the support member allows the structural integrity of the pouch to remain intact. The pouch further includes a dividing seal comprising a one-way channel that facilitates the movement of flowable product from the storage compartment to the dispensing compartment so that dispensing and/or metering can occur.
