Abstract
A carton for suspending an article within the carton and a blank for forming same has a collapsible arrangement for automatically forming the suspension support. This arrangement includes two parallel bridge panels, each of which is hingedly coupled at its opposite side edges to the front and back panels at locations spaced from the side panels of the carton. The upper edges of the bridge panels form a support surface which is substantially perpendicular and between the carton panels for supporting an edge of a cap of an article to suspend the article between the bridge panels and within the carton. Front flaps pivotedly mounted at the opposite side edges of the front panel may be formed in the front panel and located behind the cap of the article to create a shadow effect.
