ABSTRACT:
A flip-top recloseable carton and liner assembly includes a carton in the form of a six-sided parallelopiped enclosure having opposing top and bottom walls, front and back walls, and side walls formed from corresponding panels and flaps defined on a unitary, continuous paperboard blank. The assembly further includes a liner constructed and arranged to fit within the carton, the liner having opposing front and back panels and opposing side panels. The outer layers of the side walls and the front wall of the carton are provided with horizontal tear-strip sections which define an integral and continuous tear strip that functions as convenient means for opening the carton from its sealed form. Repeated closing and positive locking of the carton is realized using a die-cut portion on the liner front panel which includes a proximal flap and an island portion dispersed in forcibly displaceable mutual engagement. Once the engaging flap and island portion are disengaged forcibly by opening the carton top, reclosing thereof leads to snap re-engagement of the flap and island elements accompanied by positive tactile and audible feedback indicative of effective carton closure.
