Abstract
Shipping carton and flap holder which prevent the spillage of loose fill materials as an article is removed from the carton. The flap holder includes a strip having first and second end portions with an adhesive on one side thereof for attachment to adjacent flaps of the carton to hold the flaps in an open position as the article is removed. It also has separately removable backings which cover the adhesive on the two end portions of the strip whereby the strip can be affixed to one flap and folded back upon itself for shipment, and thereafter the second backing can be removed and the second end portion can be folded over and affixed to the adjacent flap.
