ABSTRACT:
A carton has a top wall having eight side edges which circumscribe a top wall surface area and a bottom wall having four side edges which circumscribe a bottom wall surface area. Four trapezoidal side walls, each having a major edge, a minor edge and two side edges, extend between the top wall and the bottom wall, such that the major edges of the sidewalls abut, respectively, adjacent of the side edges of the bottom wall and such that the minor edges of the sidewalls abut, respectively, alternate of the side edges of the top wall. The carton has four triangular corner wall portions, each having a base, which abuts the top wall at a position displaced inwardly from one of the top wall edges that does not abut one of the minor edges of the side walls, and two sides, one of which abuts one of the side edges of one of the adjacent side walls. A device for opening the carton is positioned in one of the trapezoidal side walls, and a line of weakness is positioned in the bottom wall or in the top wall. Upon tearing, the line of weakness forms an aperture circumscribed by a rim for receiving and supporting a container.
