Abstract: A folded carton having dispensing means, wherein said dispensing means comprises a displaceable slide which has two terminal positions, in the first of which it exposes a dispensing aperture and in the second, covers the dispensing aperture, the slide being connected to a link portion, the slide and link portion being displaceable between portions of the carton which are capable of elastic displacement in a direction transverse to the plane of the slide, the link portion being thereby displaceable through a dead-center position and firmly held in its terminal positions between said portions of the carton capable of elastic displacement.
