Fitment for a flexible container

A fitment for use with a flexible, collapsible container having an opening to the container interior, said fitment comprising:

• a. an elongate body for being sealed at the opening of a flexible, collapsible container, said body having
• i. an inner end,
• ii. an outer end,
• iii. a height defined between said inner end and said outer end,
• iv. an access passage extending between said inner end and said outer end for communication with the container interior, and
• v. a sealing portion for being attached to the container interior, said sealing portion having a major dimension generally oriented transversely of said height;
• b. a pour lip that
• i. extends from said outer end of said body,
• ii. protects laterally relative to said access passage, and
• iii. defines a pour path;
• wherein said pour lip has an interior surface that includes:
• a. a concave portions;
• and
• b. a convex portion, said convex portion being located further outwardly than said concave portion;
• and
• wherein said body further comprises a membrane that
• a. initially occludes said access passage,
• b. is initially connected to a remaining portion of said body, and
• c. includes a separation member that extends outwardly from said membrane for accommodating engagement by a user to separate at least a part of said membrane from said body along at least a portion of the connection of the membrane to the body, and all of said separation member is located axially inward of said convex portion of said pour lip.
