ABSTRACT:
A package includes a surrounding wall enclosing a containment region and a spout. The spout is movable relative to the surrounding wall between a retracted position and a protracted position. A first resealable closure mechanism is secured to the spout for selectively opening and closing communication between the mouth of the spout and the containment region. In another embodiment, a second resealable closure mechanism is secured around an outer periphery of the spout mouth, when the spout is in the protracted position. When the spout is moved into the retracted position, the second resealable closure mechanism is along the interior of the mouth and allows the mouth to be selectively opened and closed. In another embodiment, a peelable seal is secured to the spout arrangement for providing a hermetic seal. Methods for constructing and using a package having a pour spout are described.
