Abstract
A carton for multiple containers having a height HC in which the carton has a bottom panel, a top panel opposite the bottom panel, a front panel, a back panel, and first and second opposed end panels that form a closed carton. The carton has a transport orientation with the carton resting on the bottom panel such that containers are supportable on their ends in an upright position. The carton has a first dispensing configuration in which the carton is restable on one of the front and back panels and the containers are restable on their sides. A hinge on the bottom panel divides the bottom panel into two bottom panel portions. With the carton in the first dispensing configuration, the two bottom panel portions are in a common plane and the hinge is oriented in the vertical direction.
