ABSTRACT:
A carton carrying handle particularly adapted for use with a wraparound type carton in which cans, e.g., soft drink or beer cans are sold. The handle includes a handle flap defined in the carton's top panel by a traverse breakaway cut line spaced from a traverse fold line, both lines extending across that top panel from side edge to side edge, and by breakaway cut lines co-extensive with the side edges of the top panel, so as to provide a handle hole with a length equal to the width of the top panel, and with a width sufficient to permit a user's fingers to be received through the hole underneath that top panel. Preferably the handle flap is separable into two sub-flaps by means of a longitudinal breakaway cut line that extends between the transverse cut line and the handle flap's hinge line, the hinge lines for the two sub-flaps being co-axial one with the other. Accordingly, and when the carton's user wishes to snap open the handle flap, the handle flap breaks away from the top panel along the longitudinal end cut lines and the transverse cut line, as well as the longitudinal center cut line, to define the two sub-flaps which pivot or hinge underneath the top panel on the transverse hinge line.
