ABSTRACT:
A first embodiment of a package including superimposed flexible opaque and transparent sides and a circumferential peripheral seal determining an interior sealed enclosure for storing a liquid material includes two contiguous depending seals separated by a preformed slot dividing the enclosure bilaterally into a storage reservoir and a dispensing channel in fluid communication. The dispensing channel includes a closed lower end contiguous to a notch in the peripheral seal. Tearing the package at the notch results in collaterally tearing open the channel lower end and a contiguous portion of the peripheral seal, thereby enabling removal of package contents. Use of a ruled scale imprinted on the opaque side proximate to the dispensing channel and viewing through the transparent side the disposition of material in the channel enable the selection of a measured quantity of material to be expelled from the channel. A second embodiment is identical to the first embodiment except that a continuous divider which is easily torn to define a slot replaces the vertical slot separating the reservoir and channel. A third embodiment is identical to the second embodiment except that a scored line adjacent to the channel lower end enables a flap, formed when the package is torn open, to be folded upwardly where it can be secured to the package, thereby sealing the channel to prevent material leakage.
