A carton comprising a) a first side panel, b) a front panel adjacent thereto, c) a second side panel adjacent to said front panel and opposite said first side panel, d) a rear panel between said first and second side panels, e) bottom closure flaps, f) top closure flaps, g) a tear tape within at least three of said panels suitable for separating portions of at least said first and second side panel and said front panel from each other and extending at least from said first side panel through said front panel to said second side panel h) a liner including i) a first side wall having dimensions prior to opening the tear tape substantially the same as said first side panel, ii) a front wall having dimensions prior to opening the tear tape substantially the same as said front panel, iii) a second side wall adjacent said front wall and opposite said first side wall and having dimensions prior to opening the tear tape substantially the same as said second side panel, and iv) a rear wall having dimensions prior to opening the tear tape substantially the same as said rear panel, said tear tape not traversing the entire rear panel whereby said rear panel acts as a hinge when said tear tape is removed from said first and second side panels and said front panel and a flexible handle extending from said first side panel to said second side panel, said handle having two ends and being attached at said ends by rivets which extend through said side panels and said liner.
A carton comprising a) a first side panel, b) a front panel adjacent thereto, c) a second side panel adjacent to said front panel and opposite said first side panel, d) a rear panel between said first and second side panels, e) bottom closure flaps, f) top closure flaps, g) a tear tape extending at least form said first side panel thorugh said front panel to said second side panel, said tear tape not completely functionally traversing the rear panel, whereby said rear panel acts as a hinge when said tear tape is removed from said first and second side panels and said front panel, said hinge on said rear panel further comprising a perforated line within a score line.
A carton comprising a) a first side panel, b) a front panel adjacent thereto, c) a second side panel adjacent to said front panel and opposite said first side panel, d) a rear panel between said first and second side panels, e) bottom closure flaps, f) top closure flaps, g) a tear tape having an upper edge and a lower edge suitable for separating portions of the panels from each other and extending at least from said first side panel through said front panel to said second side panel, said tear tape not functionally traversing the entire rear panel, whereby said rear panel acts as a hinge when said tear tape is removed from said first and second side panels and said front panel, and h) hinge means including a perforated line within a score line on said rear panel extending along the same line as the upper edge of the tear tape, the score line being spaced from the top and bottom closure flaps.
A carton comprising a) a first side panel, b) a front panel adjacent thereto, c) a second side panel adjacent to said front panel and opposite said first side panel, d) a rear panel between said first and second side panels, e) bottom closure flaps, f) top closure flaps, g) a tear tape extending at least from said first side panel through said front panel to said second side panel, a flexible handle having two ends extending from the first side panel to the second side panel, said handle including an aperture including a straight narrow portion and one rounded, semicircular portion at each of said ends, one of said rounded portions being disposed above said narrow portion and the other of said rounded portions being disposed below said narrow portion.
A flexible handle having two ends having an aperture including a straight, narrow portion and one rounded semicircular portion at each of said ends, one of said rounded portions being disposed above said narrow portion and the other of said rounded portions being disposed below said narrow portion.
A carton comprising a first side panel, a front panel adjacent thereto, a second side panel adjacent to said front panel and opposite said first side panel, a rear panel between said first and second side panels, said first and second side panels each having an inside and an outside, bottom closure flaps, top closure flaps, a tear tape extending at least form said first side panel through said front panel to said second side panel, said tear tape not functionally traversing the entire rear panel, whereby said rear panel acts as a hinge when said tear tape is removed from said first and second side panels and said front panel, and further comprising a liner having a first side portion abutting the inside of said first side panel, a second side portion abutting the inside of said second side panel and a connecting portion connecting said first and second side portions and abutting one of said front or back panels, said liner having substantially the same dimensions as a carton wall defined by the first side panel, the second side panel, and one of the panels connecting said first and second side panels.
