ABSTRACT:
A carton for housing nails and like sharp objects is provided which includes a top side defined by opposing pairs of closure flaps and including associated minor flaps which extend outwardly and cooperate with adjacent outwardly extending closure flaps when the carton is in its open position so as to effectively extend the depth of the carton by a predetermined amount. The minor flaps are integrally defined with lines of weakness whereby the flaps can be folded inwardly with respect to the associated closure flaps when the carton is in its closed position so that the top side is defined as a smooth surface by the mutual engagement of adjacent closure flaps without being obstructed by the minor flaps.
