Abstract: A package for containing both longer and shorter components and being transformable into a secondary package for carrying the shorter components. The package includes a unitary, tubular base carton having first and second ends and a first length extending between the first and second ends. A tear line is formed in the base carton between the first ends and defines a tubular sub-carton and a remainder portion. The sub-carton has a second length extending between the first end of the base carton and the tear line. The second length is less than the first length. A tray is slidably disposed in the sub-carton. The tray has first and second ends and a third length extending between the first and second ends of the tray. The third length is less than the first length of the base carton.

Abstract: A flip-top reclosable carton for packaging articles. The carton includes front, rear and side wall panels, the side wall panels having generally horizontally slits to form the sides of the flip-top and the rear wall panel being scored to form a hinge between the flip-top and the lower portion of the carton. Top and bottom wall panels are foldably attached to at least one of the front rear and side panels. A perforated tear strip is located on the front panel and extends between the slits in the side panels, whereby removal of the tear strip allows the flip-top to be opened. The tear strip includes an aperture located at one end of the perforated tear strip to permit the one end to be lifted to aid in the removal of the tear strip. In the preferred embodiment, the carton also includes an audible click closure. The closure includes a locking tab formed along the lower front edge of the flip-top and a first inner front panel adjacent to the front panel having an aperture adapted to receive the locking tab.

Abstract: A folding carton having a fifth wall which serves as a space for advertising and to hang the carton for display. The fifth wall is constructed as to be easily torn away by the purchaser to obtain initial access to the carton. After removal of the fifth panel, a tuck remains hingedly secured to the cover for reclosure. The rear panel and closure tuck of the carton remain intack and substantially undisturbed by the removal of the fifth wall.

Abstract: A multipurpose, collapsible carton formed of telescopically connected inner and outer members is used, in a preferred embodiment, as a disposable insect trap. The inner container member has closed bottom and side walls, and a funnel-shaped top wall. The outer cover member is telescopically mounted over the inner container and includes a closed top, open bottom, and side walls having open windows therein. When the carton is open insects are lured by bait to enter the windows, crawl down through the funnel into the container where they are trapped. When full, the carton is closed by slipping the cover down around the inner container, and the unit is discarded. When opened, the cover member remains attached over the inner member by a simple locking mechanism.
