A protective carton having a wall interconnecting a pair of sidewalls and having open ends wherein the interconnecting wall is provided with a pair of parallel cuts extending completely across the central portion thereof with the sidewalls each having a pair of slits and with the slits of each pair each adjoining an end of an associated cut. The interconnecting wall also has weakening means therein extending between and roughly perpendicular to the cuts. The cuts and slits define a U-shaped construction which because of the presence of the weakening means is easily compressed in the form of a V-shaped construction to define an integral handle for the caRton. A plurality of cartons identical to the above-described carton and each having a pouch supported therein so as to define an associated package may be tightly packed in an associated traylike container with the interconnecting walls of the cartons arranged immediately adjacent each other in a common plane and each package may be easily removed from the container by compressing the U-shaped construction of its associated carton to thereby define a V-shaped construction which serves as an easily grasped handle for lifting the package from within the container.
A carton for packaging a plurality of articles having rectangular or square bases and sides such as aseptic packages and the carton blank therefor. In one embodiment the carton includes a base, side panels, inner and outer top panels with handle straps and partial end panels held in an upright position by tuck flaps. In another embodiment the carton includes a base, side panels, inner and outer top panels, partial end panels and tear strips on the side panels to convert the carton to a display.
A packaging box in which, in one plate and one lid plate connected to an upper end portion of the side plate constituting the packaging box, one creasing line parallel to the upper end portion is formed for each, and two cut lines are formed so as to connect the end portions of the creasing lines. Provided is a packaging box from which a stored article can be easily taken out when a lid plate is opened, and which can endure a compressive stress imposed when a multiple number of the boxes are piled up.
