ABSTRACT:
Multiple embodiments of a display-ready carton each include an opening formed in one vertical panel both to display articles within the carton and to permit their removal as desired. The opening preferably extends into the top panel of the carton and includes a removable reinforcing element, more preferably a T-bar, extending across the opening. The carton is preferably formed from corrugated material having a horizontal axis of corrugation in the panel forming the opening and a vertical axis of corrugation in the end panels to structurally rigidify the carton. The carton is preferably the same height as the articles and is more preferably formed from a wrap including the front, back, top and bottom panels and end pieces forming the two end panels. In a method of use, the carton is filled with articles, transported to a point of sale and then arranged to display articles in the carton, the removable reinforcing element more preferably being removed after the carton is filled with articles and prior to display of the articles to make the carton fully display-ready.
