Carton with opening feature and blank

A carton, comprising:

• a first side panel;
• a top panel;
• the first side panel and the top panel being connected along a first fold line;
• a second side panel;
• a bottom panel;
• an end panel;
• and
• an exiting end panel connected to the first side panel along a transverse fold line, wherein
• a dispenser section is defined by a dispenser pattern extending at least through the top panel and into the first side panel, wherein the dispenser pattern comprises a tear line pattern and a deformation pattern formed in the dispenser section that facilitates deformation of the dispenser section, the tear line pattern including a first side tear line in the first side panel extending from the first fold line in a first direction to a first turn then extending from the first turn in a second direction to the transverse fold line, the deformation pattern including a first deformation line extending from the first fold line to the first turn.

A carton comprising:

• a top panel connected to a first side panel along a first fold line;
• the top panel connected to a second side panel along a second fold line;
• a bottom panel;
• a first end panel, wherein the first end panel, the top panel, and the first side panel intersect at a first corner, and wherein the first end panel, the top panel, and the second side panel intersect at a second corner;
• a second end panel;
• a dispenser section defined by a tear line pattern and a deformation pattern, the dispenser section being separable from the carton along the tear line pattern, wherein the tear line pattern includes a first side panel tear line in the first side panel that extends from the first fold line in a first direction to a first turn,
• wherein the deformation pattern includes a pattern of lines of disruption that allow the dispenser section to deform during separation of the dispenser section from the carton, and the deformation pattern is in the dispenser section so that the deformation pattern is for being separated from the carton with the dispenser section, and
• wherein the deformation pattern comprises
• at least one curved access deformation line in the top panel,
• a first oblique top deformation line that extends from the at least one curved access deformation line to the first corner,
• a second oblique top deformation line that extends from the at least one curved access deformation line to the second corner,
• a third oblique top deformation line that extends from the at least one curved access deformation line to a first intersection point at the first fold line, and
• a first side deformation line that extends from the first intersection point to the first turn.

A package comprising:

• a carton and a plurality of containers;
• the carton comprising:
• a top panel connected to a first side panel along a first fold line;
