Abstract
A carton including a bottom panel and first and second opposite side panels each connected to the bottom panel. The carton further includes first and second end panels connected to the bottom panel and a top connected to the side panels. The top includes a multi-ply handle section flanked by opposite single-ply sections, with the top being foldably connected to the first and second sides and extending from the first to the second end. The top includes first and second hand openings which define a central hand grip. Furthermore, the top includes four tear control cuts extending outwardly away from adjacent the central hand grip. The tear control cuts are each J-shaped and lead away from the multi-ply section. The J-shaped tear control cuts each include a shank portion and a hook portion and the hook portions each point away from the multi-ply handle section. Also, the shank portions are each substantially aligned with a corner of the top. This construction allows the carton to be made from thinner paperboard while still providing adequate strength.
