Abstract
Abstract A display carton for collapsible tubes is formed from a unitary cut and scored blank forming a carton sleeve. The sleeve is formed with a pair of shadow panels flanking the tube being displayed. The closure end of the tube is held in an aperture formed in a retainer tab folded into retaining position at one end of the carton sleeve. The flattened end of the collapsible tube is loaded into the carton sleeve and the opposite end of the sleeve is provided with a retainer tab having a slot therein to receive the flattened ends. The latter retainer tab is formed and folded into position after end loading of the tube to support the latter in said slot. The latter retainer tab is also provided with wing-like elements to assist in the support of the flattened end of the tube.
