Abstract:
In an embodiment, a portion control container can have a body and a lid sealed to the body. The lid can have defined therein a spout-type opening. The spout-type opening can be defined by an initiation region having 100% cut-through the lid that transitions to a pattern of reduced strength having less than 100% penetration through the lid. The container can remain sealed until the lid is separate from the container along the seal to provide a dip-type opening or the lid material is torn at the initiation region and pattern of reduced strength to define a spout-type opening for squeeze dispensing of the product from the container.
