ABSTRACT:
A gable-top type carton and blank for forming the same including a front panel, a back panel, a bottom panel and first and second side walls extending between the front panel and the back panel with at least one of the side walls including a gusset forming section for permitting the front and back panels to converge towards one another from the bottom panel along a length of the side walls to an edge of the front and back panels opposite the bottom panel is disclosed. The gusset forming section includes at least one cut-out section formed in each of the side walls with the cut-out being preferably in the form of a triangle which is spatially positioned in an intermediate portion of the side wall. Extending from an apex of the triangle to an upper limit of the respective side wall is a line of weakness in the form of a perforated cut score which in turn cooperates with a base portion of the cut-out which is in the form of an arch having a radius of curvature and crease score lines of weakness extending from respective edges of the base of the triangle to form a gusset in the side walls of the carton. A closure flap is further provided along an upper edge of the front panel such that once the front and back panels are converged towards one another, the closure flap is overfolded into contact with the back panel and adhered to an outer surface of the back panel to close the carton, thus forming a carton suitable for containing articles and particularly perishable products which may be readily viewed by the consumer.
