Pour spout

The co. has been issued a U.S. patent for its carton with a pour spout. Unlike conventional metal or plastic spouts or pouring devices, the all-paperboard pour spout has been designed as part of the carton and eliminates the need for additional product inventory, insertion equipment and the added installation step in the forming process.

Unlike conventional metal or plastic spouts or pouring devices, the all-paperboard pour spout has been designed as part of the carton and eliminates the need for additional product inventory, insertion equipment and the added installation step in the forming process.

The spout is located in the upper-left corner of the vertical top portion of the carton, which prevents product obstruction or clogging that can occur with side-panel designs. It can also be converted from a variety of paperboard substrates and printed by any of the traditional printing processes. The pour spout design offers consumers a simple, open-close pouring feature without the frustration of product clogging or loss.
