System and method for dispensing fluid from a container with a stacked arrangement of cross-slit valves

A fluid container, comprising:

• a cavity for containing a fluid;
• an opening for dispensing the fluid;
• a neck body for regulating a flow of the fluid from the cavity, wherein a first end of the neck body is disposed adjacent to the cavity and a second end of the neck body forms the opening of the fluid container;
• a first cross-slit valve secured to the first end of the neck body, wherein the first cross-slit valve comprises a first plurality of petals with respective tips that point away from the opening of the fluid container;
• and
• a second cross-slit valve secured to the second end of the neck body, wherein the second cross-slit valve comprises a second plurality of petals with respective tips that point away from the opening of the fluid container,
• wherein the neck body comprises a support member for securing the first cross-slit valve to the first end of the neck body and securing the second cross-slit valve to the second end of the neck body.
