ABSTRACT:
A tear strip opening construction is disclosed, for providing a wide tear strip opening feature for corrugated cartons and other containers. A pair of spaced-apart tear band elements are mounted in parallel relation to the inside surface of the container wall, typically extending about the entire periphery of the container. A pair of cooperating guide strip elements are mounted on the outside surface of the container wall, arranged in parallel relation to the internal tear bands, with the respective inside edges of the guide strips being substantially aligned with the respective outside edges of the tear bands. Both the tear bands and the guide strips are formed of a relatively non-tearable material, such as plastic tape. A relatively wide strip of wall material is included between the inside edges of the guide strips. A reinforced gripping portion is provided at one end extremity of the container wall, extending substantially from one guide strip to the other. To open the container, the reinforced gripping portion is engaged by the hand and pulled outwardly, severing a wide strip of wall material defined between the respective guide strip portions.
