Abstract
Abstract The embodiment of the invention disclosed herein is directed to a dispensing carton for attachable package handles which are formed on a wound spool and carried on a hub to be positioned in the carton. The detachable handles are used for application to boxes and bags for carrying articles of purchase. The dispensing carton is provided with a double-thickness reinforcement immediately adjacent the outlet of the carton so that a pull strip can be pulled over the reinforcement and separate the attachable handle. Therefore, a store clerk can easily remove an attachable handle from the carton and apply it to the package. The pull strip passes through a slot formed in the top wall of the carton and is guided through a channel so that it is at all times in a position ready to be taken up by the clerk.
