Abstract: A carton is disclosed for containing and displaying cylindrical objects such as drinking glasses or canned goods, and a single foldable paperboard blank form is disclosed for making the carton. The carton is in the form of an open ended sleeve having a divider panel providing adjacent sections for receiving the cylindrical objects, and folding tab members interengaged with the divider panel to retain the objects within the open ends while providing maximum visible exposure of the objects at the carton sides and ends. Tabs in the top and bottom panels of the carton provide finger holes for carrying the carton and extend into the carton transverse to the divider panel and between adjacent objects in the direction between the open ends of the sleeve.

The carton is erected from a blank form in a method requiring no direct manual manipulation to position the stem holding portion of the carton. The carton is formed as an open ended rectangular sleeve with a stem holding panel extending horizontally across the interior of the carton.
