ABSTRACT:
A carton for containing ice cream has cover, top, rear, bottom and front panels and right and left end flaps on each of the cover, top, rear, bottom and front panels. The bottom panel end flaps are designed to be folded to seal the end of the carton such that the upper edges of those bottom panel end flaps contact lines of juncture between the top panel and the top panel end flaps. The bottom panel end flaps have a line of weakness adjacent the upper edge which permits bending of that flap when ice cream in the carton expands. The front panel end flaps overlie the bottom panel end flaps when the carton is sealed, but the upper edge of the front panel end flaps is below the line of weakness on the bottom panel end flaps so as not to interfere with the bowing of the bottom panel end flaps.
