Abstract

A package for holding pourable products includes a body of composite sheet material having a closure seam that extends across the body. A tear-open strip is positioned on the body between the block and the closure seam and a side weld is located along a portion of the side edge of the package. A punch cut which defines a grip tab, is positioned in the side weld. The grip tab is adapted to be gripped by a user in order to initiate tearing of the pacakge.
