Abstract
A carrying handle (H) in a multi-unit carton for accommodating a number of primary containers comprising interconnected top (14), bottom (18) and side walls (12, 16). The carrying handle comprising an ovate slot (46) in the carton top wall (14), and a slit (48, 48a; 50, 50a) or other line of weakness extending from opposed ends of the slot and extending into respective ones of the two carton side walls. A handle panel (Ha, Hb) provided by part of the top wall is hinged along a fold line (64, 66) extending across the top wall the handle panel having a free edge defined in part by the slot and in part by the slits. Thus, either handle panel can be grasped and hinged upwardly away from the tops of the packaged containers so that the carton can more easily be held.
