A top panel extends forwardly from the upper edge of the back panel to the front of the container and further includes a top panel extension which folds downwardly and includes means for establishing locking engagement with the container.

Abstract: A package for horticultural items with a receptacle includes a container having a base portion for supporting the receptacle and side portions connected to and extending upwardly from the base portion about the receptacle. A flexible sleeve engages the container side portions to support the container and enclose the horticultural item. The sleeves are supported on a pedestal having flexible straps for spreading the sleeves and allowing removal of a sleeve for packaging the horticultural item.

Abstract: This relates to a closure panel and lock arrangement for cartons of the wrap around type. The customary secondary lock includes at least one, and preferably two, male locking tabs which have a locking projection on one side only of a narrow neck and defining a locking shoulder. The male locking tab is associated with a separate female locking slot in an inner closure panel immediately adjacent its folded connection with a side panel of the carton wherein the female locking slot is formed by a single knife arrangement forming first and second cut lines without the removal of material. The shapes of the cut lines provide for automatic opening of the female locking slot when the inner closure panel is folded relative to an adjacent side panel and there is defined a flexible locking ear which will lock behind the shoulder of the male locking tab.
