Abstract
A package comprises a top-sealed gable-top carton, a flowable substance contained in the carton, and a pour spout fitment () openable to pour the substance from the carton, the carton including a top closure including a front roof sub-panel () carrying and sealed to the fitment (), the carton also including a front body sub-panel (), the boundary zone between the roof sub-panel () and the front sub-panel () comprising an edge protruding into the front sub-panel, and the fitment () extending to adjacent to that edge. It is thereby possible to provide on a gable-top carton a pour spout fitment having a greater through-flow cross-sectional area than would be the case if the above-mentioned boundary zone were not to protrude into the front sub-panel.
