Abstract

ABSTRACT A package comprising a carton and a plurality of articles disposed in the carton so that an interior space is formed between at least one article and at least a portion of the closed end of the carton. The carton includes a plurality panels comprising bottom, top, and a side panels and at least two end flaps foldably attached to respective panels of the plurality of panels so as to partially overlap with one another to at least partially form a closed end of the carton. The end flaps include at least a bottom end flap foldably connected to the bottom panel. A handle extends in at least one bottom end flap and is aligned with the interior space, which space allows a user to better grasp the carton at the handle. A method for forming the package and a blank for forming a carton are also provided. CA 2942837 2018-1.2-14
