The carton may have at least one display window (W, DW1, DW2) for presentation of an article therein. The carton comprises a plurality of panels forming walls of a tubular structure including a top wall (16), a first side wall, a base wall, and a second side wall. The carton comprises an end closure structure for partially closing an end of the carton (90). The end closure structure comprises a top end closure flap (30a) hingedly connected to the top wall. At least one side end closure flap is hinged to a corner panel by a first fold line. The corner panel is hinged to one of the first and second side walls by a second fold line.
Claims19
A carton for packaging one or more articles comprising a plurality of panels forming walls of a tubular structure including a top wall, a first side wall, a base wall, and a second side wall, the top wall being shorter in a longitudinal direction than the base wall, wherein the carton comprises an end closure structure for partially closing an end of the carton, the end closure structure comprising a top end closure flap hingedly connected to the top wall, at least one side end closure flap being hinged to a corner panel by a first fold line, the corner panel being hinged to one of the first and second side walls by a second fold line, wherein the at least one side end closure flap is arranged to be securable to the top end closure flap, the first fold line being convergently arranged with respect to the second fold line so as to converge towards the top panel, the corner panel terminating in a lower free edge which is spaced apart from the base wall of the carton, wherein the lower free edge of the corner panel forms a part of a display window in an end wall formed from panels forming the end closure structure.
A carton for packaging one or more articles comprising a plurality of panels forming walls of a tubular structure including a top wall, a first side wall, a base wall, and a second side wall, wherein the carton comprises an end closure structure for partially closing an end of the carton, the end closure structure comprising a top end closure flap hingedly connected to the top wall, at least one side end closure flap hingedly connected to a corner panel by a first fold line, the corner panel being hingedly connected to one of the first and second side walls by a second fold line and wherein the at least one side end closure flap is arranged to be securable to the top end closure flap, wherein the second fold line is non-linear in shape such that the corner panel bows inwardly so as to be concave when viewed from a viewpoint external of the carton.
A blank for forming a carton, the blank comprising a plurality of panels forming walls of a tubular structure including a top wall, a first side wall, a base wall, and a second side wall, the top wall being shorter in a longitudinal direction than the base wall, wherein the carton comprises an end closure structure for partially closing an end of the carton, the end closure structure comprising a top end closure flap hingedly connected to the top wall, at least one side end closure flap being hinged to a corner panel by a first fold line, the corner panel being hinged to one of the first and second side walls by a second fold line, wherein the at least one side end closure flap is arranged to be securable to the top end closure flap, the first fold line being convergently arranged with respect to the second fold line so as to converge towards the top panel, the corner panel terminating in a lower free edge which is spaced apart from the base wall of the carton in its formed condition, wherein the lower free edge of the corner panel is configured to form a part of a display window in an end wall formed from panels forming the end closure structure.
A blank for forming a carton, the blank comprising a plurality of panels forming walls of a tubular structure including a top wall, a first side wall, a base wall, and a second side wall, wherein the carton comprises an end closure structure for partially closing an end of the carton, the end closure structure comprising a top end closure flap hingedly connected to the top wall, at least one side end closure flap hingedly connected to a corner panel by a first fold line, the corner panel being hingedly connected to one of the first and second side walls by a second fold line and wherein the at least one side end closure flap is arranged to be securable to the top end closure flap, wherein the second fold line is non-linear in shape such that the corner panel bows inwardly so as to be concave when viewed from a viewpoint external of the carton.
