Abstract
A carton for containing one or more articles, the carton comprising a series of walls for retaining said one or more articles within 5 the carton, wherein a presentation and retention means is incorporated within one of said walls. The presentation and retention means comprises a displaceable tab (62, 68) connected to the wall (24) in which the presentation and retention means is incorporated such that once displaced to create a window for displaying an article the displaceable tab is biased to return to its original position and 10 thereby retains the displayed article within the carton. Optionally, the biasing is achieved by virtue of the connection of the displaceable tab being about a non-linear hinge line. Additionally, or alternatively, this biasing is achieved by the displaceable tab being connected a hinge line (60b, 60) co-extensive with the extent of the displaceable tab.
