  • Patent number: 3946936
    Abstract: An elongated one piece paperboard blank which can be erected into a carton which can be hung on a hook of a pegboard display. The blank forms a carton having a solid bottom and flaps on each side so that the contents will not readily fall out of the carton when it is hanging on a hook. For added strength, the carton has a two-ply hanger member which is formed by hanger panels located at opposite ends of the blank. Aligned apertures to receive a pegboard hook are formed in each hanger panel. The blank is folded and the juxtapositioned hanger panels are adhered together by a suitable adhesive. The folded blank can be stored and shipped in this partially assembled condition. The carton is erected from the folded blank without the necessity of additional gluing operations.
