Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a carton and carton blank for forming the cartons. More particularly, the invention relates to a carton and blank for packaging fragile articles such as bottles of perfume or cream for example.
  • Such products are generally of high value and as such, breakages during transit or sale are costly and hence undesirable to the manufacturer and seller.
  • One way of combating breakages is to provide a space around the article within the carton which may crumple upon impact, thereby dissipating energy such that the article contained within remains intact.
  • the purchases of such products generally expect that the packaging should be commensurate with the quality and value of the article, and that the article be attractively presented within the packaging.
  • the present invention and its preferred embodiments seek to overcome or at least mitigate the problems of the prior art.
  • One aspect of the invention provides a package for holding a fragile article comprising a tubular outer carton (C) and a receptacle comprising an article retention structure having an article retention panel, an article receiving aperture struck from the article retention panel, a support panel for supporting the bottom of the article interconnected to the retention panel by at least one of opposed side panels for retaining the retention and support panels in a spaced apart relationship wherein spacer means is provided to position the article retention structure intermediate the top and base walls of the outer carton, characterised in that the spacer means comprises lower spacer means having at least one lower spacer panel to retain the article retention structure spaced from the base wall, said lower spacer means being hingedly connected to the support panel.
