ABSTRACT:
A carton is disclosed having a reclosable pour spout formed in a top panel thereof. The pour spout being formed by cooperating portions of an upper minor flap, an exterior top panel and an interior top panel which cooperate to form the top panel of the carton. A portion of the interior top panel forming a central closure pane is formed by inside and outside cut scores formed in the interior top panel defining a ply separation region therebetween which extends from a lift tab to a hinge line formed in the interior top panel. The exterior top panel includes a central closure pane defined by lines of perforation which extend from the lift tab to a hinge line formed in the exterior top panel which overlies the hinge line formed in the interior top panel, such that upon the application of an opening force to the lift tab, ply separation occurs in the ply separation region of the interior top panel which consequently forms a stop lip in the interior top panel and a stop tab on the central closure pane which when reclosed contacts the stop lip and prevents the central closure pane from being inserted into an interior of the carton.
