Abstract
A carton for retaining, suspending, and dispensing rolls of wound web material and a method of manufacturing same are disclosed. The carton is a trunk to which a lid is hinged to allow the lid to be opened and closed and thereby allow access to the roll of wound web material. Retainers are provided at first and second ends to positively hold the roll within the carton for dispersal of the film. The retainers may also suspend the roll off of the bottom wall of the carton to avoid adhesion of the multiple layers of wound web of material, particularly materials employing pressure sensitive adhesives. A carton includes guide surfaces to facilitate automated assembly of the carton.
