<p>LIQUID CONTAINER WITH STRAW OPENING MEANS The drawings and description disclose a liquid carrying paperboard carton having straw opening means formed in a side wall panel thereof. The straw opening means includes a first tear strip formed on the side seam-supported edge of one side panel by spaced laterally-extending die cuts formed all the way through the paperboard layer, and extending from a side edge across a portion of the width of the underlying panel to a vertical score line for forming a flexible hinge. A second tear strip is formed on the underlying side seam by die cuts formed through the thermoplastic coating only, directly beneath the first tear strip. An arcuate cut is formed on the panel adjacent the side seam through the coating thereon so as to interconnect the inner ends of the second tear strip. The arcuate tab formed by the latter cut breaks away from its panel when the carton is formed, and serves as a starter tab for lifting the first and second tear strips, whereupon the tear strips may be peeled back past a notch or edge of the underlying side seam to accommodate the insertion of a straw therein.</p> |
