ABSTRACT:
A carton is provided for carrying articles or containers in two layers with three rows of containers in each layer. The carton can have a dispenser flap in one side panel which can be opened for dispensing containers when the carton is placed on the end adjacent to the dispenser opening. The two layers of containers are kept separate during the dispensing by an interlocking separator pad that is interlocked to the side end flaps on one end of the carton by punch locks going through the primary female openings of the leading flap attached to the separator pad. A secondary locking system is provided by a swing lock in each side end flap on the interlocking end of the carton which has a secondary male lock attached to it that is inserted into a secondary female opening in the separator pad. Each secondary male lock may have a locking slot that engages a locking edge of the secondary female opening. A secondary locking system can be provided on the other end of the carton by side end flaps which have a swing lock to which is attached a secondary male lock having a locking slot that engages a locking edge of a secondary female opening in the separator pad. These locking systems hold the interlocking separator pad in proper position as containers are removed from the carton.
