The carton comprises two or more channels for containing products. The channels can be opened to maintain the integrity of the carton for use as a display carton by maintaining the integrity of the base wall, but with the removal of substantially all of the top wall of each channel and a significant portion of the sidewalls of each channel. The remaining part of the sidewalls, a rear wall and the base provide the structure for the use of the carton as a display carton. If used as a shipper, a tear strip on the base wall is removed and the carton fully opened and emptied. The carton is made from a unique carton blank and a unique folding of the panels of the blank to make the carton. In particular the abutting walls of the channels are of a unique structure with each having a separate sidewall and these separate sidewalls not connected to the base wall.
A shipper and display carton for a plurality of articles comprising at least two interconnected channels, each channel containing a plurality of articles and closed at each end by a plurality of closure flaps, at least one wall of a first channel being in an abutting contact with at least one wall of a second channel, each of said at least one wall of a first channel and at least one wall of a second channel connected through a fold at a base wall that is common to said first channel and to said second channel, a top wall of each of said first channel and said second channel having a pull tab to remove a portion of said top wall of each of said first channel and said second channel, and at least a portion of at least one sidewall of a channel to open said channel for the display of articles contained therein.
A shipper and display carton as in claim 17 wherein said side closure flaps are adhesively attached to said top closure flap and said base closure flap.
