The packages (10) may be customized, functional packages that are designed to prevent accidental spillage or leakage of a flowable consumable product housed therein. In a general embodiment, flexible packages (10) are provided and include a body (12) defining a cavity (14) for housing a flowable 12 product and a channel (16) for dispensing the flowable product from the cavity, wherein the channel (16) has a length that is from about two to about four times a width of the channel. In another embodiment, the channel (16) comprises a length-to-width ratio that is sufficient to prevent a liquid from leaking from the flexible package (10) without a force applied to the flexible package.
