Abstract
A carton blank, and a display carton erected therefrom, are adapted for securely holding a tube in a specially-designed cradle means made from a unitary panel of the carton. The unitary panel has a first cut line extending generally along the width dimension at the top end. A second cut line extends from the first cut line along the length of the cradle means, terminating at a point short of the bottom end. Third and fourth cut lines are spaced outwardly on opposite sides of the second cut line and extend along the length of the cradle. Score lines extend in angular relationship from the third and fourth cut lines toward the bottom end of the cradle means. A tab on the bottom end of the cradle means is adapted for engaging a chime on the tube cap and preventing the tube from inadvertent displacement from the carton.
