Abstract
A one-piece folding carton is described that has a hang tab pivotably mounted behind a first carton panel, the hang tab being pivotable between a tucked position in which the hang tab is tucked behind the first carton panel, and an extended position in which an upper portion of the hang tab extends out of the carton for hanging the carton on a display. The carton further includes a first restraining surface positioned with respect to the hang tab such that the hang tab is prevented from being pulled all the way out of the carton by an outside edge of the hang tab butting up against the first restraining surface when the hang tab is in its extended position.
