  • Easy-open, reclosable article case
    Patent number: 5083667
    Abstract: A reclosable article case has a main portion which receives a plurality of articles and a closed top comprising inner closure flaps and outer closure flaps. One or more of the outer closure flaps include a tearback tab formed by weakened lines. A base portion of this tearback tab lies immediately over some of the articles in the case while an outer portion of this tearback tab overlies an inner closure flap. Tearing back the tearback tabs provide direct access to at least a portion of the upper parts of all articles within the case for purposes of marking same with tickets or the like. The tearback tabs are then unfolded back to their original flat state, and then tucked underneath an edge of the inner closure flap over which each previously overlied, thus reclosing the article case.
