Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a carton for packaging one or more article and a blank for forming the carton. The carton may have at least one display window for presentation of an article therein. The carton comprises a plurality of panels forming walls of a tubular structure including a top wall, a first side wall, a base wall, and a second side wall. The carton comprises a handle feature including first (20) and second (22) handle panels in a face-contacting relationship. The first handle panel (20) is hingedly connected to, and disposed in a face-contacting relationship with, the top wall. The second handle panel (22) is detachably connected to a top end flap (38A, 40A, 38B, 40B) along a frangible line such that when the frangible line is broken, the handle feature is hingedly movable to a use position where the handle feature extends above the top wall.
