Abstract: A holder for picking up and holding a fitment and cap assembly prior to the bonding thereof on a filled and sealed carton. The holder is one of a plurality of holders mounted on a continuously moving conveyor. Each holder includes a body having an arcuate surface for engagement of the cap portion of the fitment and cap assembly, an arm pivotally mounted on the body, a compression spring mounted in an opening formed in the body and abutting against an inner end of the arm, and a pair of spaced abutments formed on the inner surface of the outer end for engaging vertical ribs formed on the cap adjacent the arcuate surface of the holder body.

Abstract: A carton and a box-blank for making a carton are made of a material having two layers, such as a laminated corrugated cardboard, and are provided with a substantially separable section and a tear strip for separating the outer layer from the inner layer such that the inner layer forms a collar to at least partially define an opening in the carton made from the box-blank, the separable section being established by a non-adherent area which is made by using a non-adherent coating, a non-adherent tape or a crushed area in one layer and non-selectively applying an adhesive to such one layer.
