A container of the gable top variety having a handle which resides within the
bounds
of the footprint of the container while further providing for the placement of
a pouring spout on the top end of the container. In accordance with a further aspect
of the invention, the container is formed from a flat blank of a paperboard-containing
material having foldable panels which, when folded, define the gable top of the
container, one of the two major panels of the defined top being larger that the
second of these major panels and further being oriented at an angle with respect
to the vertical which is different from the angle of orientation of the second
major panel. In the present container, the pouring spout is disposed on the second
(smaller) major panel and the handle is disposed on the larger of the two major
panels. The handle of the present container may be formed integrally with the blank
or attached to the partially or fully erected container.
