Abstract
A package comprises a top-sealed gable-top carton, a flowable substance contained in the carton, and a pour spout fitment (72) openable to pour the substance from the carton, the carton including a top closure including a front roof sub-panel (130) carrying and sealed to the fitment (72), the carton also including a front body sub-panel (140), the boundary zone between the roof sub-panel (130) and the front sub-panel (140) comprising an edge protruding into the front sub-panel 140, and the fitment (72) extending to adjacent to that edge. It is thereby possible to provide on a gable-top carton a pour spout fitment having a greater through-flow cross-sectional area than would be the case if the above-mentioned boundary zone were not to protrude into the front sub-panel.
