Abstract
A collapsible carton for containing and securely retaining an automobile headlamp comprises four wall panels hinged together to form a tube and an interior lamp-retaining strap hinged at its opposite ends to opposite carton wall panels. The strap has a two-ply construction along the segment thereof which engages around the lamp so that it does not tear upon insertion of the lamp into the carton. Also, the strap includes a special oblique fold line which assures that the strap opens out into the proper position when the carton is erected. A blank for forming such a carton is also disclosed.
