ABSTRACT:
An improved paperboard carton including a dispensing mouth which when separated from the surrounding carton forms a dispensing mouth for dispensing single units of a row of units, the units typically being individually-wrapped and thinly profiled packages, such as teabags, sweetener packages and the like. The improvement comprises a series of perforations which have been added to create the mouth panel on a known carton pattern. The perforations permit release of the mouth panel from one of either of two end walls whereby a hinged mouth panel and an opening for single dispensing of the unit results. When two mouth panels are provided, the panels are located in positions diagonally opposed to one another on the opposing end walls. The end walls are defined as being the walls which bound each end of a row of arrayed units, whereby the face of the package is parallel with the end walls. The perforations may be placed on the end wall in a relationship to the face of the package which permits the fixed portion of the end wall from which the mouth opening has been released to slightly impede the top edge of the package and prevent it from falling out the carton. Moreover, the mouth panel remains hinged in place and does not permit a proximate package to easily escape, unless manual application of force to pull the package from the carton is applied.
