Abstract: A carton (90) for packaging one of more articles includes a first panel (22a, 26a, 128a, 226a) and a second panel (24a, 28a, 124a, 222a). The first panel (22a, 26a, 128a, 226a) is in at least partially overlapping relationship with the second panel (24a, 28a, 124a, 222a) to define an overlapping region. The carton (90) includes a weakened line of severance (30a, 30b, 34a, 34b, 49a, 49b, 69a, 69b, 129a, 129b, 229a, 229b) which extends from the first panel across the overlapping region and into the second panel to be contiguous. The first panel includes a recess (R) defined at least in part in the overlapping region and extending at least partially across a portion of the first panel in the overlapping region. The recess (R) is arranged in registry with at least a portion of the weakened line of severance in the second panel.

Abstract: Each of the first and second side panels of a tubular carton includes a notional longitudinal line disposed at an elevation above the bottom panel that is below the elevation of the shoulders of the bottles. At least one of the opposed ends of the tubular carton is closed by a composite end wall. The composite end wall includes pair of first and second side end closure flaps hingedly connected to the side panels of the carton along first fold lines respectively. Each of the first fold lines is interrupted by a pair of at least substantially triangular panels, each of the pairs of at least substantially triangular panels is formed such that a lowermost triangular panel of the pair is disposed below the respective notional longitudinal line and such that an uppermost triangular panel of the pair is disposed above the respective notional longitudinal line.

Abstract: A carton is defined for packaging a plurality of articles. The carton includes a plurality of carton walls at least one of which includes a slot handle that comprises a foldable hand flap. The foldable hand flap has an article receiving section for receiving a portion of an article in the carton when the at least one foldable hand flap is folded inwardly of the carton.

Abstract: A product dispensing system including a container that defines an internal volume and an access opening into the internal volume, at least one product received in the internal volume and a biasing assembly extendable into the internal volume to urge the product toward the access opening, wherein the container is engaged with the biasing assembly when the biasing assembly extends into the internal volume.
