Abstract (en)

There is disclosed herein a flat top end closure (12) for a liquid carrying container, which includes two oppositely disposed, overlapped outer closure panels (40, 42), and two oppositely disposed, fold-in panels (44, 46), one of which cooperates to form the flat top configuration when closed, but serves as a substantially longer pour spout when opened by virtue of incorporating the top portion of the front wall panel (20) as a part thereof. First and second lift tabs (50, 86) are formed on the edges of one of the outer closure panels (42) and the pour spout fold-in panel (44), respectively. Diagonal opening-assist score lines (54, 56, 70, 71, 88, 90, 92) are formed on the outer closure panels and on a portion of the side wall panels adjacent the pour spout.
