Abstract
A reclosable carton includes a front wall provided with a lightly nicked circular portion. A top wall panel connected to a back wall is provided with a top wall panel extension defining a cover flap. Centrally located on the cover flap is a debossed circular area which is adapted to overlie and be adhesively secured to the lightly nicked circular portion on the front wall panel. As the cover flap is lifted by pulling outwardly and upwardly on the tab, it is torn between the pair of parallel score lines and the lightly nicked portion of the front wall adheres to the cover flap and is removed from the front wall to provide a dispensing opening through which articles may be singly dispensed from the interior of the carton. The cover flap may be rotated and pushed back against the carton front wall to cause the lightly nicked area of removed paperboard stock adhered to the cover flap to frictionally lock within the opening to reclose the carton.
