ABSTRACT:
A reusable, recyclable carton is made from recyclable plastics material and has a closure which does not require glue, staples or other non-recyclable closing elements. The plastics material may be polyethylene. The carton is erected from a knock-down carton blank having releasable engagement tabs and slots to releasably maintain the carton in an erected condition. A two flap lid is provided, the flaps meeting on a line joining opposing walls of the carton. A flange rises from each of the opposing walls adjacent the joining line of the lid flaps. The flange is joined to its respective wall along only part of its length so that it has free ends. The flange may be bent over to overlie the lid flaps and its ends may be tucked into slots in the lid flaps for that purpose.
