Abstract

A flat top, thermoplastic coated, paperboard container having weakened lines formed thereon such that the top may be opened by breaking through a weakened line at the front and progressively breaking the weakened lines along the sides upon peeling back the cover panel, to provide access to the contents. Provisions are included for covering the weakened lines on the inside of the container to prevent leakage.
