Abstract
The present disclosure provides a novel blank for producing cartons, particularly cartons useful for storing and dispensing sheets of tissue, having a novel shape. The cartons have at least one corner edge that is partially formed from an edge wall having a convex cross-sectional shape. In certain instances the carton has four corners and each of the edges is at least partially formed from an edge wall having a convex cross-sectional shape. By providing a carton having one or more convex shaped corner edges not only is a disinvite carton created, but the additional wall forming the convex edge may be provided with graphics that differ from the other carton walls to further enhance the cartons distinctive appearance.
