ABSTRACT:
A corrugated paper shipping and display carton for potted plants. The carton includes a rectangular sheath having a front-to-back dimension which is approximately equal to the width of the pot so that the pot is gripped by the carton. The carton has a width which is substantially larger than the width of the pot to provide sufficient space on either side of the plant for air circulation. A pair of tabs extend inwardly from the front and back of the carton to engage opposite portions of the top edge of the pot to center the pot in position on a base portion of the carton. The carton utilizes horizontal corrugations to maximize the strength of the tabs. Two or more cartons may be strapped together between top and bottom trays to form a unitary multi-pack. A displaceable front panel has preformed slots formed along its edges which terminate in breakaway portions so that the front panel may be folded downwardly to provide an opening to the interior of the carton for easy access and display.
