Abstract: A carton formed from foldable paperboard, cardboard, or the like to include a first or top panel with a hingedly connected end closure or manufacturer's flap, a second or front panel juxtaposed the top panel for adhesive attachment thereto by means of the manufacturer's flap, a rear panel disposed parallel to but spaced from the front panel, and a bottom panel disposed parallel to but spaced from the first or top panel including a pair of parallel side panels hingedly connected along the edges of said bottom panel. Each of the side panels has a pair of opposite marginal edges free of the bottom panel, each of the edges having an inwardly offset medial part. The remaining parts or tabs of each marginal edge are adapted to facilitate the alignment and support the adhesion of the carton during assembly. The front and rear panels each have a pair of scored side flaps. The side flaps can be folded first then the side panels are folded with the tabs riding on the side flap scores.
