Abstract
A flip-top paperboard container with (a) a bowling-grip-type handle in the top wall for removing individual containers from multiple container shipping cases and for carrying the container before it is opened, and (b) a side handle in the rear wall for carrying the container after it is opened. The bowling grip handle includes a finger opening and a thumb opening. The thumb opening is located toward the rear of the top wall so that, when desired, the side handle and thumb opening can be grasped simultaneously by a single hand.
