ABSTRACT:
A carton comprising a cover structure formed from a cut and scored flat blank of carton material. The cover structure includes a top wall having a plurality of side walls extending therefrom along a straight common fold line therebetween within a plane defining an interior included angle with the top wall of less than 180.degree.. The cover structure includes a plurality of over center toggle action tabs having indicia operatively associated with each tab. Each over center toggle action tab is defined by cuts and edge lines formed in the top and side walls so as to contain a predetermined length of the common fold line therebetween which divides the tab into two tab sections. The cuts enable the peripheral edge portion of the tab defined thereby to move toward and away from the adjacent cut top and side walls while the peripheral edge portions of the tab defined by said edge lines hinge with respect to the adjacent top and side walls. Each over center toggle action tab is self-retained in a normal position wherein the two tab sections are coplanar with the top and side walls and are movable by inward digital pressure into a self-retained deflected position wherein the interior included angle between the two tab sections is greater than 180.degree..
