Abstract: A carton adapted to receive rows of articles the bottoms of which are adjacent the side panels of the carton. A tear strip encircling the carton allows the carton to be separated into smaller display packages, each side panel of the carton forming the bottom panel of one of the separated packages. The tear strips in the top and bottom panels are aligned and preferably are at an angle to the side panels so that the front panels of the smaller display packages are low, enabling the first article in the smaller package to be on display. The end panels of the carton are formed of overlapping flaps which contain aligned tear strips. Tuck flaps allow side panel flaps to be connected to the end panels and to be folded in to form a double layer at the side edges.
