Abstract
Abstract A multi-walled cylindrical carton having a reclosable cover portion adapted to telescope over a receptacle portion and a onepiece blank therefor. The inner and outer wall panels of the carton are wrapped around the product to be packaged therein and a series of top and bottom end panels and flaps hingedly connected along the upper and lower edges of the outer wall panel are then sequentially folded in and secured to one another to form the carton. The outer wall panel has a line of weakness formed therein to provide a flip top or completely removable cover portion which is reclosable in telescoping fashion over that portion of the inner wall panel which protrudes above the line of weakness along which the cover was opened.
