A flexible pouch (10) formed from a single sheet of plastic material folded over upon itself along an umbrella like fold assembly (14) to provide the opposed walls of a chamber for storing a product and an optional second sheet to form the bottom of the chamber. The walls and the bottom are sealed along their periphery to form the chamber. The pouch has a self-opening spout (34) formed in part by the fold assembly which expands and springs open when the sealed end of the spout is cut off. The fold assembly (14) not only provides a large spout opening, but also provides a spring force which keeps the spout open so that all the product may be emptied from the chamber. <IMAGE> |
