Abstract: A book-type carton for holding and displaying an article, the carton including a base carton and a tray. A cover flap selectively positionable between an open position and a closed position is hingedly connected to the base carton. The tray is slidably mounted in the base carton and is selectively positionable between an extended position and a retracted position. One of the tray and the cover flap has a closure tab forming a part thereof. The other of the tray and the cover flap has a slot forming a part thereof. The closure tab and the slot are relatively arranged and configured such that, when the tray is in the retracted position and the cover flap is in the closed position, the slot and the closure tab engage to releasably lock the cover flap in the closed position. A partition may be provided in the base carton to align the tray. A stop tab and limiter tab may extend from the tray to resist removal and overinsertion of the tray with respect to the base carton.
