ABSTRACT:
A paperboard carton in the form of a rectangular parallelpiped and formed by gluing and folding a scored, one-piece paperboard blank. The top panel or wall of the carton carries a series of perforated/cut lines which define a finger insertable carrying handle upon pushing inwardly by the user. A pair of thumb holes is provided on the top carton panel with each hole equidistantly spaced from the handle recess in the top panel. The carton may be carried by inserting a thumb in one of the thumb holes and the remaining fingers in the handle, thereby defining two lifting and carrying areas for the convenience of the user. The carton is particularly useful as a container for cans. In a modification, strain-relieving cuts are provided in the side walls, these cuts intersecting curved portions of finger perforated lines in the top panel.
