Abstract (en)

A cardboard, paperboard or like container has an opening panel 8 defined in an upper closure panel 7 by lines of weakness 9. Handle panels 12,22 are hingedly , connected to closure panels 7,21 and together form a handle 31. A portion 14 of the opening panel 8 extends through the handle 31 and has a tab 17 provided at its free end. The container is opened by pulling on the tab 17 to tear open the opening panel 8, with the handle 31 being hinged to a position wherein it will not interfere with the opening action. The handle is thus left intact upon opening of the container. <IMAGE>
