Abstract
Abstract A decorative carton with a removable plastic band and carton blank therefor. The carton blank is provided with a glue flap panel attached to an endmost main body panel with the glue flap panel having a notched out portion intermediate its ends. A tab which substantially corresponds in size and location to the notched out portion in the glue flap panel is attached to the main body panel most remote from the one to which the glue flap panel is attached. This provides for nesting of adjacent blanks when the blanks are cut from strip stock material. The decorative plastic band extends transversely of the main body panels but is unattached thereto. One terminal end of the plastic band is attached to the tab and the other terminal end is attached to the glue flap panel adjacent its notched out portion. When the carton blank is assembled into an upright carton, the terminal ends of the removable plastic band are received within a longitudinal side seam of the carton.
