ABSTRACT:
A flip-top reclosable carton for packaging articles. The carton includes front, rear and side wall panels, the side wall panels having generally horizontally slits to form the sides of the flip-top and the rear wall panel being scored to form a hinge between the flip-top and the lower portion of the carton. Top and bottom wall panels are foldably attached to at least one of the front rear and side panels. A perforated tear strip is located on the front panel and extends between the slits in the side panels, whereby removal of the tear strip allows the flip-top to be opened. The tear strip includes an aperture located at one end of the perforated tear strip to permit the one end to be lifted to aid in the removal of the tear strip. In the preferred embodiment, the carton also includes an audible click closure. The closure includes a locking tab formed along the lower front edge of the flip-top and a first inner front panel adjacent to the front panel having an aperture adapted to receive the locking tab.
