Flip-top carton

A flip-top paperboard container with (a) a bowling-grip-type handle in the top wall for removing individual containers from multiple container shipping cases and for carrying the container before it is opened, and (b) a side handle in the rear wall for carrying the container after it is opened. The bowling grip handle includes a finger opening and a thumb opening. The thumb opening is located toward the rear of the top wall so that, when desired, the side handle and thumb opening can be grasped simultaneously by a single hand.

Flip-top container with integral handles

A measuring scoop with molded reusable fit clip is disclosed. The measuring scoop includes a bowl with a scraping lip or shoulder used for more effectively lifting product into the bowl, an elongated handle which is integrally mounted on said bowl and a reusable fit clip on the free end of the handle, which clip is used for sealing closed a bag of product. The design of the handle as well as the design of the reusable fit clip extends the life of the molded friction fit clip by improving the clipping force as well as the clip's resistance to deformation from applied stress.
