A side loading, top opening reclosable carton, formed from a one piece blank has multiple layer front, rear and side walls, and single layer top and bottom walls, providing efficient placement of multiple layers of material only in the vertical walls, which are subjected to substantial stacking stresses. An optional, and novel, end lock has a male lock tab on a front side flap confined between embossments on two rear side flaps. The lock is secured by adhesion provided by a bottom side flap and bridging the front side flap and the outer rear side flap.
