Abstract
A unitized shipping and display carton comprising a plurality of packages (Pb.sup.1, Pb.sup.2), each having a top wall (16) and a base (12,20) interconnected by a pair of spaced side walls (14,18) so as to form a tubular structure, end wall means (30,32,38,40) to prevent endwise movement of the contents through the ends of said tubular structure, an opening panel (86) provided in the top wall and partially in at least one of the side walls and defined by tear lines. The packages are joined one to the next in side-by-side relationship by side wall portions of the opening panel. Tear lines (x,y) defining a top wall portion are in registry with those of the next adjacent package whereby removal of the opening panel of an endmost package of the carton can be continued to cause removal of the opening panel of the other packages in the carton.
