ABSTRACT:
A box having a spout with sealing features to provide an improved moisture resistant and sift resistant container. A first sealing feature is a pouring spout of three layers, the first and second layers of which provide a way for opening the spout. The construction of the spout also allows improved sealing because of its snap open and close feature. A second sealing feature uses transverse scoring of numerous panels and flaps with the scoring formed at the juncture between adjacent panels and flaps during manufacture and before assembly. The scoring provides a sealing feature consisting of male and female characteristics with the male scoring mating securely into the channel of the female scoring during assembly. A third sealing feature is the application of hot melt glue in a generally rectangular pattern close to the perimeters of the top panel and the bottom panel. The hot melt glue is also applied in a generally square pattern on one side of each of the dust flaps close to the perimeter of each of these flaps.
