To find the price per pint of the laundry detergent, we first need to convert the volume from quarts to pints.
1 quart is equal to 2 pints. Therefore, a 4-quart container contains:
\[
4 \, \text{quarts} \times 2 \, \text{pints/quart} = 8 \, \text{pints}
\]
Next, we need to calculate the price per pint. The total cost of the container is $12.96. To find the price per pint, we divide the total cost by the number of pints:
\[
\text{Price per pint} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of pints}} = \frac{12.96}{8}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\frac{12.96}{8} = 1.62
\]
Thus, the price per pint is:
\[
\boxed{1.62}
\]
