  • Carton Fitments
    Publication number: 20100006633
    Abstract: A carton fitment (2) for use in fresh packaging has a base flange (4) with an upstanding pour spout (6) adapted to be inserted through an opening in a carton such that the base flange seats inside the carton. A ring of induction heat sealing foil (10) is bonded to an exterior surface of the flange so that the fitment can be induction welded to a paperboard carton. The use of such fitments allows a carton erection and filling machine to be manufactured without the need for expensive ultrasonics welding equipment.
