  • Publication number: 20240336418
    Abstract: A spout is put between and attached to a pair of plane parts including front and rear surfaces forming a bag body. The spout includes a tube part to which a cap having a tamper-proof ring is attached on its topside, and a first flange and a second flange provided on an outer peripheral surface of the tube part on the side of its base end. The outer diameter of the first flange, which is the topmost, is equal to or larger than the outer diameter of the tamper-proof ring in a front-rear direction of the bag body. This causes the first flange to cover the whole lower part of the tamper-proof ring.
