Abstract: A two-part sliding carton has a base part having generally the shape of a box with a rectangular cross-section open at the top. The base part has a bottom panel on which said base part normally rests and a rear panel with a generally horizontal hinge slit covered by a cover panel, one edge of which is affixed to the interior of the base part at a line below said hinge slit. The cover panel extends from below the hinge slit substantially to the upper edge of said rear panel to define a slide pocket between said hinge slit and said upper edge. The carton also has a cover part having generally the shape of a box with a rectangular cross-section slightly larger than the comparable cross-section of the base part, said box being open at the bottom. The cover part has a rear panel with a hinge panel joined at its bottom edge at a hinge fold line.
