A carton for holding a plurality of articles in at least a first layer and a second layer. The carton can include a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carton. The plurality of panels can include at least a bottom panel, a side panel, and a top panel. The carton further can include a divider for at least partially extending between the first layer and the second layer of the plurality of articles. The divider can at least partially define a first modular section of the carton and a second modular section of the carton. The first modular section can include the top panel, an upper portion of the side panel, and the divider. The second modular section can include the bottom panel and a lower portion of the side panel. The first modular section can be at least partially separable from the second modular section.

The disclosure includes a carton for containers, including a bottom panel with a hinge, a top panel, a front panel, a back panel, and first and second opposed end panels. The disclosure also includes a blank for the carton. The carton is configurable in different storage and dispensing configurations.

A pack for consumer articles comprising: a plurality of consumer articles arranged in a row extending along a longitudinal extension of the pack; and a parallelepiped-shaped box, which houses the consumer articles and has two bottom walls parallel and opposite one another and arranged orthogonally to the longitudinal extension of the pack, and four side walls arranged parallel to the longitudinal extension, in pairs, parallel to and opposite one another. The box comprises: an extraction opening for the articles arranged at a distance other than zero from both bottom walls and is obtained through at least one side wall; and a closing tab hinged along a hinge so as to rotate between an open position, in which it is spaced apart from the extraction opening, allowing the consumer articles to be extracted, and a closed position, in which it covers the extraction opening, preventing the consumer articles from being extracted.

A carton includes a top wall (12a/12b), first side wall (14), second side wall (18), first end wall, a second end wall and a bottom wall (16). The carton has a handle structure (H) defined at least in part in an outer panel (12b) and at least in part in an inner panel (12a). The outer panel is disposed in overlapping relationship with the inner panel to form the top wall. The outer panel includes an outer handle strap (30) while the inner panel includes an inner handle strap (32).

The outer handle strap is continuously formed with the outer panel at its first end and severably attached to the outer panel at its second end by a frangible connection (46). The inner handle strap includes a first end disposed in the inner panel and continuously formed with the inner panel.

A carton includes a first panel and a second panel in overlying relationship with each other so as to form a composite wall and a handle structure formed in the composite wall. The handle structure includes a first end portion formed from the first panel, a grip portion extending from the first end portion into an access opening in the composite wall and a second end portion disposed under the first panel and coupled to the grip portion.

A carton (90) for packaging a plurality of articles (C) includes a dispenser defined by a dispenser pattern (40) extending through the carton's first side panel (14), top panel (16), second side panel (18), and exiting end panel (12). The dispenser pattern defines a removable portion (92) that is separable along the dispenser pattern to form an opening into an interior of the carton. The dispenser pattern includes first (60) and second (62) end tear lines formed in respective first (32) and second (36) side exiting end flaps. Each of the first and second end tear lines includes a lower (56,57) end section. The two lower end sections of these end tear lines diverge away from each other toward a bottom panel of the carton and define therebetween a bottom end section of the removable portion.

A carton (90) for packaging one or more articles (A) includes a plurality of panels (12, 14, 16, 18) for forming a tubular structure. The plurality of panels include a top panel (16) and a pair of first and second opposed side panels (14, 18) hingedly connected to first and second opposite sides of the top panel respectively. The first and second side panels include first and second corner edges (C2, C1) respectively which are free of hinged connection to any other part of the carton. The first and second corner edges extend from the first and second sides of the top panel respectively. The carton includes a first severance line (70) extending from the first corner and a second severance line (78) extending from the second corner edge.

A container having a multiplicity of cans therein. The container disclosed is modified from a rectangular, closed wall container to a container with part of the walls removed, thereby allowing easy access to the cans of the container. Applicant discloses a unique relationship between the walls of the opened container and the size of the beverage cans. Applicant also discloses a method for constructing a closed container that may be easily modified to remove the cans of the container.

A carton (90) includes a first panel (12) and a second panel (20) in overlying relationship with each other so as to form a composite wall and a handle structure (H) formed in the composite wall. The handle structure includes a first end portion formed from the first panel, a grip portion (32,36) extending from the first end portion into an access opening (A1,A2,A3) in the composite wall and a second end portion disposed under the first panel and coupled to the grip portion.

Carton (90) containing a plurality of containers (C) includes a dispenser defined by a dispenser (80) pattern (40) extending through the carton's first side panel (14), top panel (16), second side panel (18), and exiting end panel (84). The dispenser (80) is at least partially separable along the dispenser pattern (40) to form an opening into an interior of the carton (90). The dispenser pattern (40) includes first and second tear lines (51, 52) on first and second side exiting end flaps (32, 36) that extend downwardly toward one another from opposite sides of the exiting end panel. The first and second end dispenser patterns do not extend completely across respective first and second side exiting end flaps but stop short of an outer edge of respective first and second side exiting end flaps.
