A dispensing structure, and a package with a dispensing structure, is
provided with a valve. In one embodiment, the dispensing structure is a
multi-piece fitment. The multi-piece fitment includes a base for mounting
to the container and a valve carrier for mounting to the base. A
flexible, self-sealing slit-type valve is mounted within the carrier. In
another embodiment, a fitment is mounted in the opening of a thin-walled,
flexible, collapsible container, and the flexible valve is mounted in the
fitment. In yet another embodiment, a package includes a container having
a corner wall defining an opening, and a fitment is sealingly mounted to
the corner wall at the opening. A valve is disposed within the fitment. A
removable and disposable cover extends from the container over the
fitment and at least a portion of the corner wall to define a
hermetically sealed volume around the fitment. The cover may be pulled
away from the container to expose the fitment.
