A closable dispenser and an apparatus for dispensing a flowable product therewith are provided. The apparatus for dispensing includes a collapsible product container. The closable dispenser includes an outlet member having a base and a 3-D tip having a 3-D opening therein. The dispenser also includes a spout member having a hollow main body fixed to the container, a stopper extending from the main body and having a 3-D shape complementary to the 3-D opening of the tip, and a passage between the main body and the stopper. A mounting mechanism movably mounts the base of the outlet member about the main body of the spout member for a relative movement of the outlet member and spout member between (a) an open position allowing flow of the product where the stopper is spaced interiorly from the 3-D opening and dispensing of the product through the passage to the 3-D opening is permitted and (b) a closed position preventing flow of the product where the stopper is complementarily engaged with the 3-D opening of the tip so that most residual product is expelled from said tip and a 3-D surface which is easily cleaned of remaining residual product is provided. Preferably, the 3-D tip of the outlet member has an outer convex shape and an inner concave shape, and the 3-D shape of the stopper is convex. In addition, the 3-D opening of the tip is a plurality of slots radiating away from a central aperture at an apex of the tip.
