  • Patent number: 4113100
    Abstract: A display carton formed from a foldable, integral paperboard blank having top, front, bottom and rear walls joined together, each of said walls including a pair of side flaps hingedly connected to opposite ends thereof to form a display carton. The front and rear walls include a tear strip extending lengthwise across the walls and extending across the respective front and rear wall side flaps to form a continuous tear strip around the display carton. The top and bottom side flaps have a length less than the height of the carton to provide a gap aligned with the tear strip on each side of the carton. The tear strip is removable to separate the top portion from the bottom portion of the carton to expose the contents of the carton and to render the bottom portion of the sealed carton useable thereafter as a display tray holding the contents of the carton.
