Abstract: The invention is an improvement in a carton of the type having a compartment for multiple containers of beverage and means for holding a coolant such as ice in heat exchange relationship to containers, e.g., cans. In the improved carton, the holding means includes a plurality of panels in stacked relationship to one another in a repose position, i.e., when the carton is in the "as sold" configuration. In such configuration, the carton main compartment is of substantially conventional size to hold, for example, twelve or twenty-four 12 oz. cans of beverage. When the user desires to chill the cans (or keep them chilled), the panels are unfolded to a utility position to form an ice bin atop the compartment. Ice is poured into the bin and cans are cooled by direct contact with the ice. By first withdrawing plural cans from the compartment, pouring in ice and then nestling the withdrawn cans back into the bin-contained ice, many or all cans are in direct cooling contact with the ice.

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.

Abstract: A carton of the type having; first and second main panels and first and second side panels which are connected to one another so as to articulate between a knocked-down compact configuration and an open sleeve configuration. First and second main flaps hingedly are connected to the first and second main panels respectively and first and second side flaps hingedly connected to the first and second side panels respectively. Each of the flaps has a proximal end adjacent and a distal end remote from its associated main or side panel.
