Abstract
A carton () is formed from a unitary blank of material folded to produce a hollow walled structure for encircling a main product (). The blank is also folded to produce at least one internal divider () which forms a support for holding the main product () in position in the structure and to define within the hollow walled structure an internal volume () for retaining a secondary item (). The internal divider () may extend transversely or longitudinally. Where the internal divider is aligned longitudinally of the housing, it may be parallel to a side wall of the carton or it may extend across a corner between two side walls. The internal divider may be provided by a pair of kick-ins. The carton () may be an Easter egg carton. Methods of forming and filling the carton are also described.
