Abstract
A carton and blank for forming a carton for packaging a plurality of articles, for example bottles, comprises a plurality of panels for forming a tubular structure including a top wall panel having opposed side edges and end edges. The top panel is provided with first and second spaced apertures provided therein so as to define a handle, and a score line extends from the handle to a cut line disposed along a side edge of the top wall panel thereby to direct lifting stresses away from the handle.
