ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a container, preferably of paperboard or other packaging materials, with an easy open feature including an opening tab in a wall or panel of the container for providing a dispensing aperture in the container. The opening tab is formed by a first cut line located in the inner surface of a wall or panel of the container and a second cut line located in the outer surface of the wall or panel container, offset a predetermined distance from the first cut line. The first and second cut lines create a frangible area in the wall or panel, which allows the opening tab to separate from the container wall. The frangible area further is provided with restraining portions to control and resist the inadvertent or unexpected separation of all or part of the tab from the container wall.
