ABSTRACT:
A blank of foldable material capable of being assembled into a carton having a contoured top front surface and the carton formed thereby is disclosed. The carton is intended to be utilized in a dispenser having a back plate and a front cover with the front cover being hingedly attached to the back plate so as to be moveable between open and closed positions and, in the closed position, to contain the components such as the carton. The particular type of dispenser for which the carton is design is one in which the top portion of the cover tapers adjacent its top end toward the back plate when closed. The blank includes a generally rectangular blank of material having top, bottom and first and second opposed side edges with three fold lines spaced inwardly from and parallel to the edges so as to form there between front and rear side walls and first and second side walls. The various walls include projecting flaps from their top and bottom edges and when folded and assembled the top portion of the front wall is capable of being attached to the top flap of the rear wall. Arcuate cut-out areas are provided on the edges of the first and second side walls adjacent to the fold line connecting them to the front wall so that the top portion of the front wall may be formed in either a curvilinear or arcuate position or an angular one so as to reduce the depth of the carton adjacent its front end. This configuration is generally complemental to the configuration of the top portion of the dispenser cover so as to maximize the space available in the interior of the dispenser.
