Abstract
A flip-top type carton container having a top held in a closed position by deflecting, such as by pushing inwardly, a part of the front panel of the top behind a liner panel, which is located internally of an external front panel of a body part. The deflection is usually accomplished by pushing inwardly on the lower regions of the top part when the top part is lowered into a closed position, and the lower regions of the top part may comprise one or more lugs, which may be of arcuate shape. The container thereby provides more convenient and more positive closure than previously available.
