  • alternative mechanical securing devices such as but not limited to staples, may be employed; in still other embodiments an adhesive or other treatment may be applied to the blank 10 such that the first and second base panels 12, 34 are bonded or welded together.
  • the assembled carton 90 is shown in Figures 2 and 3 .
  • the carrying handle C is disposed in a first, stowed, position.
  • the first handle panel 20 is folded about fold line 19 such that the first handle panel 20 and at least a portion of the fourth handle panel 26 are disposed over the first top panel 18.

  • the relief structures R are arranged to be adjacent to an article B in the second, adjacent, row of articles B.
  • the slit 65 and the relief aperture A7 facilitate engagement of the second handle panel 22 with the articles B.
  • the relief aperture A7 reduces the number of plies of material proximate the flange P of the article B.
  • the slit 65 facilitates the second handle panel 22 to undergo a local deformation when being engaged or disengaged with the articles B in the second row of articles B. In this way the carrying handle C can be more easily moved from the first, stowed, position shown in Figures 2 to 4 to a second, deployed, position shown in Figures 6 and 7 .
  • Figures 6 and 7 show the carrying handle C in the second, deployed, position.
  • the carrying handle has been unfolded or moved from the first, stowed, position to the second, deployed, position.

  • the carrying handle C is stored in the gap or void between the first and second rows of articles B.
  • the carrying handle C can be readily engaged by a user U, see Figure 7 . At least a portion of the carrying handle C is disposed at an elevation above the upper ends of the articles B. In this way the user U does not need to place their hand in the gap or void between the first and second rows of articles B.
  • Figure 7 illustrates a user U employing the carrying handle C.
  • the user inserts one or more fingers through the opening provided by the handle apertures A6 in the second and third handle panels 22, 24.
  • the opening may be formed in part by displacing the optional cushioning flaps 62 out of the plane of the respective one of the second and third handle panels 22, 24 to which they are hinged.
  • the articles B may be tapered or reduced in diameter at a one, upper, end thereof. This reduction in article diameter may increase the size of the void between the first and second rows of articles B.
  • the carrying handle C when in the stowed position, may provide the additional advantage of reducing movement of at least the upper portions of the articles B within the carton 90. This may reduce the likelihood of damage to the primary product containers from impacts between two or more articles B. In this way the carrying handle C forms a support or brace between at least two articles B.
  • first and second top panels 18, 28 may be displaced upwardly proximate fold line 19 and fold line 27. In this way, first and second top panels 18, 28 may define an inverted "V" shape. This displacement of the first and second top panels 18, 28 may facilitate tightening of the carton 90 about the articles B when the carton 90 is transported by the carrying handle C. This may reduce the likelihood of damage to the primary product containers from impacts between two or more articles B.
  • hinged connection and “fold line” refer to all manner of lines that define hinge features of the blank, facilitate folding portions of the blank with respect to one another, or otherwise indicate optimal panel folding locations for the blank. Any reference to “hinged connection” should not be construed as necessarily referring to a single fold line only; indeed a hinged connection can be formed from two or more fold lines wherein each of the two or more fold lines may be either straight/linear or curved/curvilinear in shape. When linear fold lines form a hinged connection, they may be disposed parallel with each other or slightly angled with respect to each other.
  • curvilinear fold lines When curvilinear fold lines form a hinged connection, they may intersect each other to define a shaped panel within the area surrounded by the curvilinear fold lines.
  • a typical example of such a hinged connection may comprise a pair of arched or arcuate fold lines intersecting at two points such that they define an elliptical panel therebetween.
  • a hinged connection may be formed from one or more linear fold lines and one or more curvilinear fold lines.
  • a typical example of such a hinged connection may comprise a combination of a linear fold line and an arched or arcuate fold line which intersect at two points such that they define a half moon-shaped panel therebetween.
  • fold line may refer to one of the following: a scored line, an embossed line, a debossed line, a line of perforations, a line of short slits, a line of half-cuts, a single half-cut, an interrupted cut line, a line of aligned slits, a line of scores and any combination of the aforesaid options.
  • hinged connections and fold lines can each include elements that are formed in the substrate of the blank including perforations, a line of perforations, a line of short slits, a line of half-cuts, a single half-cut, a cut line, an interrupted cut line, slits, scores, any combination thereof, and the like.
  • the elements can be dimensioned and arranged to provide the desired functionality.
  • a line of perforations can be dimensioned or designed with degrees of weakness to define a fold line and/or a severance line.
  • the line of perforations can be designed to facilitate folding and resist breaking, to facilitate folding and facilitate breaking with more effort, or to facilitate breaking with little effort.
  • in registry with refers to alignment of two or more elements in an erected carton, such as an aperture formed in a first of two overlapping panels and a second aperture formed in a second of two overlapping panels. Those elements in registry with each other may be aligned with each other in the direction of the thickness of the overlapping panels. For example, when an aperture in a first panel is "in registry with" a second aperture in a second panel that is placed in an overlapping arrangement with the first panel, and an edge of the aperture may extend along at least a portion of an edge of the second aperture and may be aligned, in the direction of the thickness of the first and second panels, with the second aperture.
