Abstract

A container with an inner pouch includes an outer cardboard shell with interconnected bottom and top flaps and a leakproof inner pouch with a closeable spout. The outer shell in its front side wall has an inwardly inclined upper portion provided with an orifice for the spout, and in its two lateral side walls has triangular, folded-in sections adjacent the inclined portion of the front side wall. The spout projects through a wall of the pouch and has a flange at the inner end which is secured to the interior surface of the pouch. At least one tear-off strip is located in at least one side wall of the outer shell, which, upon removal, permits the plastic inner pouch to be effortlessly removed from the shell.
