Container

A container fashioned from a blank of multi-layer paper material, comprising:

• a tubular element associated with a top section of the container and providing a spout from which to pour a product held internally of the selfsame container,
• the top section including at least two edges of the blank united in lapping contact to establish a joined area,
• the tubular element has four projections wherein at least one projection is interposable between the edges of the blank and welded together with at least a portion of the area along which the selfsame edges are joined, wherein the container comprises a substantially parallelepiped body, the top section of the container presenting four faces extending from respective walls of the parallelepiped body and converging toward the tubular element,
• the four projections distributed around the periphery of the tubular element and interposable between corresponding edges constituting respective joined areas for said four faces of the top section of the container;
• the container including an annular top portion having intermediate portions disposed between the respective joined areas, the intermediate portions connected to respective ones of the four faces and formed to extend upwardly away from the four faces at respective obtuse angles thereto, to form a collar externally protruding from and above the four faces that aligns with and closely fits bottom first portions of the tubular element positioned between the projections.
