Abstract
A dispensing container is disclosed. The container can be formed from a unitary prescored blank. The container comprises first and second main panels, four major side walls and at least one minor side wall which extends between to adjacent major side walls and cuts the corner that would otherwise be formed by the two major side walls. The minor side wall is constituted by a first, inner minor side wall panel connected to the first main panel and disconnected from the second main panel and a first, outer minor side wall panel connected to the second main panel and disconnected from the first main panel. A content dispensing device is associated with the minor wall so that it does not extend beyond the corner which would otherwise be formed by the two adjacent major side walls. The container can be shipped with the dispensing element in place. In applications involving liquid products, a liquid impervious liner is provided on the inside of the container. An integral prescored blank for producing the dispensing container is also disclosed.
