Abstract: An opening arrangement for a packing container includes a flexible strip having first and second parts which are connected to one another by a flexible intermediate piece. The first part of the strip has a downwardly projecting portion that fits within the hole in the packing container. The first part includes an openable part for preventing the contents from being emptied from the container until the openable part has been torn away. The second part of the strip is somewhat cup-shaped and includes a bottom surface that is sealed to the openable part of the first part so that when the cup-shaped second part of the strip is pulled backwards, the openable part will be torn away, thereby forming a pouring opening.
