Abstract
An end closure arrangement for a paperboard carton includes a carrying handle construction in which a pair of handle forming panels are cut from overlapping end closure panels and strengthened by supplemental reinforcing panels which are cut from dust flaps underlying the closure panels and which are secured between the handle forming panels, with the latter adapted to hinge to upstanding relation relative to the closure panels for carrying the carton.
