  • Patent number: 11352164
    Abstract: A carton package is disclosed comprising a top panel, a bottom panel, a front panel, a back panel, a left panel, and a right panel separated by four edges. The front panel is connected to the top panel along a front-top edge and is connected to the bottom panel along a front-bottom edge. At a first height, measured from the front-bottom edge, the transversal width of the front panel measured from a front-left edge to a front-right edge is larger than a length of the front-bottom edge, and larger than a length of the front-top edge. At a second height measured from the front-bottom edge, the transversal width of the front panel measured from the front-left edge to the front-right edge is smaller than the length of the front-bottom edge, and smaller than the length of the front-top edge.
