Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009103311A1] A self-reclosing container (10) comprises a front panel (12), a rear panel (14) and first and second side edges (16, 18). A dispensing end (22) of the container is provided with an inside dispensing end flap (36) and an outside dispensing end flap (40). A cut-out (42) is provided in at least one of the inside dispensing end flap (36) and the outside dispensing end flap (40) such that, upon pressure being applied along the first and second side edges (16, 18), the inside dispensing end flap and the outside dispensing end flap are caused to be displaced from a container storage position to a dispensing position in which the cut-out (42) is exposed to serve as at least a part of a dispensing opening (44). Upon release of the pressure, the inside dispensing end flap (36) and the outside dispensing end flap (40) return towards the container storage position to thereby cover the cut-out (42).
