A method and apparatus for constructing a gable-top container (1) having a stiffening fillet (56) applied to the inner or outer surface of one or more panels of the pouring spout. A pair of sealing jaws (100,102) are compressed against first portions of the first and the second gable rib panels (50,52) with a force sufficient for reciprocal sealing of the first and second roof rib panels and the first and the second gable rib panels of the container, while compressing the portions of the first and second gable rib panels generally overlying the stiffening fillets with a force sufficient for reciprocal sealing of the first and the second roof rib panels and the first and the second gable rib panels overlaying the stiffening fillet without substantially displacing the stiffening fillet from the desired location. <IMAGE> |
