Abstract: A beverage cooler carton is provided which is intended to receive ice or other cooling means to keep contents packaged therein cool. The carton is made of a material which is impervious to liquid which may be contained within the carton during use. The carton includes folding end panels which extend continuously between adjacent upper and lower panels; therefore, there are no seams or breaks in the material around a periphery of the carton which might degrade the ability of the carton to hold a liquid. Also disclosed is a method of assembling the cooler carton.

Abstract: A sealed end paperboard carton having a pour opening formed in one end panel thereof and a base member formed from a relatively rigid plastic material secured to the one end panel. The base member has a hingedly mounted movable panel which has an integral closure plug fitting into and sealing the pour opening and which may be moved to an open position to permit materials in the carton to be removed through the pour opening and back to a closed position wherein the closure plug seals the pour opening. A retainer tab is provided for holding the movable panel in an open position.
