- wherein said handles vertically extend from opposing ends of said carton from each of said top walls,
- wherein said handles include apertures in said vertically extending handles and
- said apertures are above said horizontal plane,
- wherein said handles and said at least one carton wall form an offset stacking index, and
- wherein said horizontal plane is a top panel;
- wherein said carton includes end panels on each longitudinal end formed by said inwardly bendable lateral flaps of said side carton walls, and
- wherein each end panel of said carton covers a first upper portion on each end of said container so a second lower portion on each end of said end of said container is outwardly exposed;
