Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006050316A1] A blank capable of being formed into a carton for enclosing a plurality of containers C that includes a first side panel (20), a top panel (30), a second side panel (40), a bottom panel (10), an adhesive flap (50), at least one first end flap extending along a first marginal area of the blank (1), and at least one second end flap extending along a second marginal area of the blank (1). A tear line (65) is formed in the top panel (30), the first side panel (20), and the second side panel (40). In some embodiments, the tear line (65) in each side panel (20, 40) extends perpendicular from the top panel (30) and continues to at least one turn to proceed into side panel end flaps (22, 24). One or more stair steps can be included in each side panel (20, 40) along the tear line (65). Separation of a detachable portion (70) from the carton along the tear line (65) creates an opening through which the containers C can be removed.
