Abstract
A carton for use in the shipping and display of a plurality of articles comprises a single-piece blank cut and scored to include a top panel, a right side panel, bottom panel and a left side panel foldably connected together to form a box-shaped configuration with an open front and an open back. The blank also includes four front flaps, one front flap being foldably connected to each of the panels so as to close the open front of the carton when folded. The blank further includes four back flaps, one back flap being foldably connected to each of the panels so as to close the open back of the carton when folded. Formed in the left side panel and in the front flap connected to the left side panel is a first perforated tear line. Formed in the right side panel and in the front flap connected to the right side panel is a second perforated tear line. First and second perforated tear lines enable the carton to be severed along the tear lines to covert the carton for display of the plurality of articles.
