Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0341089A2] A carton (C) for accommodating a plurality of articles such as bottles, a group (G) in which the articles are arranged so as to form end spaces (S1, S2) in the article group at opposed ends of the carton. The carton has a handle structure (16) overlying a top wall (14) of the carton and has end portions (30a, 30b) overlying displacable parts (14a, 14b) of the carton which are displacable inwardly into the end spaces. The handle structure can be manipulated from a flat stowed condition in which it closely overlies the carton top wall, to a raised condition in which the end portions of the handle are displaced inwardly of the carton together with the displacable parts whereby the distance between opposite ends of a central handle strip of the handle is shortened so that it is upwardly extended.
