ABSTRACT:
A carton includes a bottom wall panel, four side wall panels, each of the side wall panels being integrally connected along a fold line to the bottom wall panel thereby defining first and second pairs of opposite side wall panels. Corner portions integrally connect adjacent side wall panels. The corner portions are secured in overlapping pairs against the second pair of opposite side wall panels. Flap members are provided with each of the flap members being integral along a flap fold line with one of the side wall panels of the first pair of opposite side wall panels. Each of the flap members includes foldable portions constructed and arranged to be folded into generally overlapping relation with a central portion of the flap member. Closure members are provided with each of the closure members being integral along a closure fold line with one of the side wall panels of the second pair of opposite side wall panels. Tab structure secures a closure member to an adjacent flap member. Handle portions for carrying the carton are provided with each of the handle portions being integral along a handle fold line with one of the closure members. Each of the handle fold lines is generally parallel to a closure fold line and has an extent greater than the closure fold line. The carton is constructed and arranged such that it may be closed and may remain in a closed condition due to the construction of the carton itself.
