Abstract
A paperboard carton for storing and dispensing a roll of web material, such as plastic film, foil, wax paper, etc. has a plastic (e.g. polystyrene) cutting blade that is adhered to an inside front lip of the paperboard carton lid. The polystyrene cutting blade preferably has a thickness of about {fraction (20/1000)} of an inch, and preferably contains aggressive teeth at the ends of its serrated edge to help initiate tearing of the web material. The aggressive teeth are larger in size than the remaining teeth of the serrated edge. Use of the polystyrene cutting blade allows for increased production rates without compromising performance.
