ABSTRACT:
A carton has a handle formed on its top. The carton comprises top and bottom walls connected by a tubular body. The top wall has inner and outer panels extending from opposite sides of said tubular body and being overlapped and having portions secured together. An integral, reinforced, three-ply elongated handle panel is formed from a portion of the outer top panel twice bent back upon itself, and is substantially equally spaced from the tubular body opposite sides. A cut and perforated scoreline is formed in the outer top panel to define the handle panel, which scoreline has a midsection partially parallel to a free end edge of the outer top panel and has flared end portions joined to the midsection for added strength at its joinder to the tubular body. This handle panel lies flat against the top wall of the carton while it is shipped and stored, and is readily accessible by lifting along the scoreline. An opening is also formed in the inner top wall panel to provide clearance for fingers to be positioned beneath the handle panel so the panel can be lifted to free the panel for use. A printed portion simulating a second opening can be provided on the outer top wall panel adjacent the handle panel opposite the finger opening to aid the user in positioning his fingers properly to grasp beneath and pull the handle panel to a use position.
