Abstract
A non-square cross-section gable top carton has an enlarged pour spout opening. The gable top is openable at one side and is formed from opposing outer gable walls, opposing inner gable walls and a spout wall. The outer gable walls have a plurality of pairs of angled creases formed therein. A first pair of creases corresponds to angled creases separating the inner gable walls from the spout wall. A second pair of angled creases are adjacent respective first creases and extend from about first terminal locations with the first creases to third terminal locations proximate the fin and rearward of the first crease second terminal locations. The third terminal locations are at a rearward distance from a front edge of the carton a distance greater than one-half of the width of the carton. A blank for forming the carton is also disclosed.
