ABSTRACT:
A carton formed from sheet material for containers such as cans or bottles includes a top wall, a pair of side walls and a bottom wall interconnected to form a tubular structure. A notional strip is defined along the top wall, having notional side edges, and extends between the end edges and has a width less than the distance between the side edges. A pair of hand apertures, each having at least one aperture edge, are defined in the top panel and disposed along opposite sides of the notional strip with at least a portion of the aperture edges disposed generally along the notional side edges. A plurality of preformed tear lines, one of the tear lines extending along an adjacent one of the notional side edges from substantially adjacent each end of each of the apertures toward a respective one of the top panel end edges but terminating at a termination point disposed remotely therefrom. At least one score line is defined in the top panel to extend generally from each of the termination points to an adjacent corner of the top panel.
