Tear-away container top

A method for manufacturing a container having a top, a bottom, and at least one wall connecting said top and said bottom, said top and said at least one wall having a predetermined portion which may be torn away from said container, said method comprising the steps of:

• providing a material having an outer substrate layer, and an inner aseptic layer secured to said outer substrate layer;
• making a cut of predetermined depth in a top surface and at least one wall surface of said outer substrate layer such that said cut does not puncture said inner aseptic layer;
• and
• forming a container;
• whereby said predetermined portion of said top and at least one wall surface may be torn away from said container at said cut to form an opening through both said top and said at least one wall such that a user is enabled to pour the contents of said container through said opening.

A container having a top and a bottom, said container comprising:

• an outer substrate layer;
• an inner aseptic layer secured to said outer substrate layer;
• and
• a cut of predetermined depth in said outer substrate layer, on a top surface of said container, such that said cut does not puncture said inner aseptic layer;
• whereby all of said top may be torn away from said container at said cut to form an opening such that a user is enabled to pour the contents of said container through said opening.

A method for manufacturing a container having a top and a bottom, said top able to be torn off of said container, said method comprising the steps of:

• providing a material having an outer substrate layer and an inner aseptic layer secured to said outer substrate layer;
• making a cut of predetermined depth in a top surface of said outer substrate layer such that said cut does not puncture said inner aseptic layer;
• and
• forming a container;
• whereby all of said top may be torn away from said container at said cut to form an opening such that a user is enabled to pour the contents of said container through said opening.
