Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1637461A2] A carton (10,110) for cylindrical articles, such as cans, comprises a generally tubular structure formed from a top wall (62,162), a bottom wall (68,168a,168b) and a pair of side walls (66,166,64,164) connecting together the top and bottom wall, and an end wall (70) at each end of the carton which closes the ends of the tubular structure to secure the articles therein. At least one end of the carton (10,110) has access means for removal of the carton contents. The access means comprises an upper portion of an end wall, and adjacent, integral portions of the top and side walls. These portions can be divorced as a unit from that end of the carton to form a removable trough (20,120). The extent of the trough provided by the upper portion of the end wall is significantly greater that the remaining part of that end wall which provides a stopper wall (80,180) to restrain egress of the lower row of articles from the carton whereby access for removal of the endmost articles, when present, is facilitated.
