A package having a reclosable pour spout is disclosed, with the package including front and rear package panels which may be joined at respective side edges thereof by inwardly extending side gussets. An upper edge portion of the package is removable, including one of the side gussets, to form a pour spout for dispensing the contents of the package. A fastener strip, which can be detachably connected to itself, extends between confronting inside surfaces of the front and rear package panels, adjacent to the pour spout, whereby the pour spout can be conveniently closed after the package is initially opened. A method of forming the present package is also disclosed.

1. A method of forming a package with a reclosable pour spout, comprising the steps of: providing a web of material having a longitudinal axis;applying a plurality of fastener strips to said web of material at intervals corresponding to a length of each said package being formed, said fastener strips each extending transversely of said longitudinal axis and being offset from the longitudinal axis, each said fastener strip configured to be detachably connectable to itself;folding said web of material, and sealing the material to itself to form a tube, including folding each of said fastener strips;transversely sealing said tube to form a series of packages in end-to-end relationship, with each said package including a front package panel and a rear package panel, with a respective one of said fastener strips extending from a portion of the front panel to a portion of the rear panel only at one lateral margin of the respective package,including transversely sealing said tube to respectively seal said front package panel and said rear package panel of each said package to each other at an upper edge of the package to form a sealed header, at least a portion of said sealed header being removable to form a reclosable pour spout adjacent the respective one of said fastener strips, said reclosable pour spout defining a periphery, wherein each of said fastener strips consists of a single fastener strip, having end portions, which can be detachably connected to itself for selectively reclosing the respective pour spout, and wherein each said fastener strip has a length longer than the periphery of the respective pour spout, andforming a seal respectively joining each said front package panel to each said rear package panel adjacent to the respective pour spout opposite a folded portion of the respective one of said fastener strips, so that said seal overlaps end portions of the respective fastener strip to close the interior of each said package after removal of said at least a portion of said sealed header,the seal joining the front and rear package panels extending from said end portions laterally toward another lateral margin of the respective package. 2. A method of forming a package in accordance with claim 1, wherein: said web of material is sealed to itself generally along the rear panel of each said package. 3. A method of forming a package in accordance with claim 1, wherein: said web of material is sealed to itself generally along an edge of said front panel or rear panel of each said package. 4. A method of forming a package in accordance with claim 1, wherein: each said fastener strip comprises a profile fastener strip. 5. A method of forming a package in accordance with claim 1, wherein: each said fastener strip comprises an adhesive fastener strip. 6. A method of forming a package in accordance with claim 1, wherein: each said fastener strip comprises a hook-and-loop fastener strip. 7. A method of forming a package in accordance with claim 1, wherein said seal joining said front and rear package panels adjacent the respective pour spout overlaps the end portions of the respective fastener strip. 8. A method of forming a package with a reclosable pour spout, comprising the steps of: providing a web of material having a longitudinal axis;applying a plurality of fastener strips to said web of material at intervals corresponding to a length of each said package being formed, said fastener strips each extending transversely of said longitudinal axis and being offset from the longitudinal axis, each said fastener strip configured to be detachably connectable to itself;folding said web of material, and sealing the material to itself to form a tube, including folding each of said fastener strips;forming a pair of inwardly extending side gussets in said tube, each said fastener strip extending from the front package panel to the rear package panel of the respective package along an inside surface of a respective one of said side gussets,transversely sealing said tube to form a series of packages in end-to-end relationship, with each said package including a front package panel and a rear package panel, with a respective one of said fastener strips extending from a portion of the front panel to a portion of the rear panel only at one lateral margin of the respective package,including transversely sealing said tube to respectively seal said front package panel and said rear package panel of each said package to each other at an upper edge of the package to form a sealed header, a portion of said sealed header being removable to form a reclosable pour spout adjacent the respective one of said fastener strips, said reclosable pour spout extending inwardly of the respective one of said side gussets, and defining a periphery, wherein each of said fastener strips consists of a single fastener strip, having end portions, which can be detachably connected to itself for selectively reclosing the respective pour spout, and wherein each said fastener strip has a length longer than the periphery of the respective pour spout, andforming a seal respectively joining each said front package panel to each said rear package panel adjacent to the respective pour spout opposite a folded portion of the respective one of said fastener strips, so that said seal overlaps end portions of the respective fastener strip to close the interior of each said package after removal of said portion of said sealed header,the seal joining the front and rear package panels extending laterally from said end portions toward another lateral margin of the respective package. 9. A method of forming a package in accordance with claim 8, including: forming a pair of corner seals at each of said side gussets respectively joining each of said side gussets to said front and rear package panels, said corner seals of said one of said side gussets each extending downwardly from a point below a fastener element of said fastener strip to facilitate formation of said pour spout. 10. A method of forming a package in accordance with claim 8, including: forming a pair of auxiliary corner seals respectively joining said one of said side gussets to said front and rear panels above said fastener strip. 11. A method of forming a package in accordance with claim 8, wherein: each said fastener strip comprises a profile fastener strip. 12. A method of forming a package in accordance with claim 8, wherein: each said fastener strip comprises an adhesive fastener strip. 13. A method of forming a package in accordance with claim 8, wherein: each said fastener strip comprises a hook-and-loop fastener strip. 14. A method of forming a package in accordance with claim 8, wherein said seal joining said front and rear package panels adjacent the respective pour spout overlaps the end portions of the respective fastener strip.
