ABSTRACT:
A packaging system for storing and dispensing pourable items includes a box that has an opening. An inner liner inside the box has a removable portion defined by at least one line of weakness. The removable portion is positioned adjacent to the opening in the box. The packaging system has a first mode for longer term storage in which the removable portion remains intact to seal the inner liner, and a second mode for dispensing the contents of the inner liner through the opening in which the removable portion has been at least partially removed from the inner liner. In one embodiment, the box comprises a front wall having an opening and an inside surface, a back wall, a first and a second side wall, a top and a bottom flap, and a slide that is in contact with the inside surface of the front wall, the slide having an opening. The front wall, back wall, first and second side walls, and top and bottom flaps are interconnected so as to form a box, the slide being movable between an open position in which the slide opening substantially aligns with the front wall opening and a closed position in which the slide opening is entirely out of alignment with the front wall opening, thereby closing the box. A method of dispensing a pourable item includes forming a packaging system, removing the removable section from said inner liner, and pouring at least a portion of the contents of the inner liner through the opening in the box.
