Method of, and apparatus for, inserting pouring spouts into a container are provided herein. The spout includes depending wings extending down from the bottom ed ge of the spout. The wings terminate in a point for piercing a container. The dependin g wings define an angle which is greater than ninety degrees with respect to the chute. Stop means are formed along the upper edges of the side walls of the spout, which permi t the spout to open by pivoting about an arc of ninety degrees. The spout is inserted into a container with an apparatus which includes a ram which drives the spout against a ramp to rock the depending wings upward with respect to the bottom edge of the spout. Thereafter, the ram drives the points into the container and the upper edges of the side walls contact the container and cam the back of the spout to a horizontal position. This allow s the spout with the depending wings to be inserted into a container through slits that are sized properly to receive and hold the spout in the container.
