Abstract
A carton for containing a product wound on a hollow core is provided. The carton has end walls at least one of which forms a core retainer comprising an inner wall having a tab foldably attached thereto for deflection into the carton interior and an overlapping wall coupled to a second side of the carton having a second tab foldably attached thereto and deflectable toward the carton interior, whereby the two tabs cooperate upon deflection to form a V-shaped retaining member in the carton interior to hold the core in place as product is removed. An outer end wall foldably attached to a third side of the carton overlaps the first two walls to close the end of the carton. The invention also encompasses a flat blank for forming into the package.
