ABSTRACT:
A container for bulk material such as pet litter is defined by four walls and a bottom wall. The top of the container is provided with a carrying handle and a pour spout. During shipping and storage the pour spout is closed to prevent spillage of material from the container, but when it is desired to dispense material from the container the pour spout is unfolded to an open position. In a preferred embodiment the container is made from corrugated cardboard, and the pour spout is formed by perforated diagonal fold lines in an end flap and the adjacent side flaps. The size of the flaps and the placement of the fold lines confines the pour spout to one end of the top of the container, and the resultant pour spout has a generally triangularly shaped bottom wall and upstanding side walls, whereby accurate control can be maintained over pouring of the material from the container.
