Abstract
A carton for accommodating a plurality of articles, such as bottles, in a group, comprises a first wall panel, a pair of substantially opposing second wall panels interconnected with the first panel, and a handle structure overlying the first wall panel. The handle structure is manipulative from a flat stowed position in which it closely overlies the first wall panel, to a raised position in which the end portions of the handle structure are displaced inwardly of the carton and that portion of the handle structure intermediate its ends is spaced apart from the first wall panel. The handle structure is formed from a pair of mutually hinged and superposed panel strips formed integrally with each other. Each panel strip of the handle structure is hinged to and formed integrally with the second wall panels.
