Abstract

Abstract A display carton is formed from a cut and scored blank of paper board and comprises major and minor panels foldably connected to define a tube. One of the minor panels has a width less than the width of the other minor panel for a substantial portion of its length with its ends having a width equal to the other minor panel. One of the major panels has spaced cut lines extending transversely thereof and in alignment with cut lines defining the end portions of one of the minor panels. A fold line is provided in one of the major panels and connects inner ends of the cut lines to define a narrow longitudinal panel along one side of the tube, and a fold line in the same major panel is spaced from the last named fold line to define a main subpanel which is foldably connected to the narrow panel and spaced from the other major panel. Closure means are provided at one end of the tube and includes inner and outer closure flaps, the inner closure flap having three flap elements, one being folded into facing relationship to a major panel, a second being folded perpendicularly thereto and standing between both of the major panels, a third of the flap elements being folded into facing relationship with said one major panel. The second flap element has at least one tab element extending therefrom and between the main subpanel and the other major panel to support the main sub panel.
