• a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carton formed from the blank, the plurality of panels comprising a front panel, a back panel, at least one side panel, a first top panel, and a second top panel;
• a plurality of end flaps foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels, the plurality of end flaps comprising at least one hinge end flap foldably connected to the first top panel;
• and
• features for forming a reconfigurable dispenser comprising the first top panel, the second top panel, and the at least one hinge end flap such that, when the carton is formed from the blank, the reconfigurable dispenser is reconfigurable between a first configuration, in which the reconfigurable dispenser at least partially overlies the interior of the carton formed from the blank to provide a closed end of the carton formed from the blank, and a second configuration, in which the reconfigurable dispenser is lifted away from the interior of the carton formed from the blank, the at least one hinge end flap is for being positioned in the interior of the carton formed from the blank when the reconfigurable dispenser is in the first configuration, the at least one hinge end flap for being at least partially withdrawn from the interior of the carton formed from the blank when the reconfigurable dispenser is in the second configuration,
• the first top panel is foldably connected to the back panel, the second top panel is foldably connected to the front panel, the plurality of panels further comprises a third top panel foldably connected to each of the first top panel and the second top panel.
