A pour spout construction particularly adapted for longer shelf life barrier paperboard containers, such as containers of the gable top type. Barrier containers often carry products and the interior surfaces of the former are lined or covered with a barrier layer. According to this invention a dispensing opening is formed in the paperboard and the major barrier layer extends across and covers this opening. An externally threaded pour spout, attached to the container, carries a threaded cap which normally closes the pour spout. This cap carries an innermost annular skirt whose lower edge is adhered to that barrier layer portion which spans the dispensing opening. When the cap is unscrewed from the spout, the innermost annular skirt carries a part of the barrier layer away from its normal, sealing position, thus rupturing the barrier layer and permitting dispensing of the container contents.

A pour spout and container construction adapted for barrier packaging of liquids and or powders, including a closed container having an exterior and an interior surface, one portion of said container having an opening therethrough to thereby define a dispensing opening, a barrier layer on said interior surface completely spanning and covering said dispensing opening, an annular pour spout rigidly mounted on said container, said pour spout having a spout passageway at least partially aligned with said dispensing opening, a cap releasably mounted on and carried by said pour spout by means of interengaging screw threads on said cap and said pour spout, said cap normally closing said pour spout, said cap including an innermost annular skirt integral therewith, said innermost skirt having a lower edge, said innermost skirt positioned interiorly of said pour spout, said innermost skirt lower edge being adhered to a portion of said dispensing opening spanning barrier layer, whereby when the cap is removed from the pour spout by unscrewing the cap, the barrier layer is ruptured to thereby permit dispensing of any contents of the container through the dispensing opening.
