Abstract
This invention relates to an improved carton for smoking articles, which carton has a dispensing portion. The dispensing portion has a particular location in respect to the longitudinal margins of the carton and extends from a position short of one longitudinal side margin of the carton, across the panel thereof, through another longitudinal side margin of the carton and into another panel of the carton. The perforation line of the dispersion portion is particularly selected to provide added strength to the carton and to allow consequent economies in other enclosed packing materials.
