| abstract |
A six-sided sealed carton which is formed by folding a generally rigid, unitary, die-cut blank of a composite polymeric material, in which one of the ends is provided with a reclosable pour-out spout that includes an integral part of the blank, at least some of the corners of such carton being self-sealed by webbed areas or gussets which are integral portions of such blank but which are of reduced thickness relative to the major portions of the remainder thereof, such carton being adapted to contain a particulate material which is in direct contact with the inner surfaces thereof. In a preferred embodiment the carton is formed from a die-cut sheet of a composite polymeric material, a major portion of the thickness of which is an expanded polymeric material. |
