Shipping carton with case knife protection for inner cartons

摘要

A shipping carton which contains other product cartons is designed so that it can be cut open with a knife without exposing the contained product cartons to damage by the knife. At least one side wall of the shipping carton is inwardly bowed so that the inner product cartons will be shifted away from the edges of the bowed side wall thereby leaving an internal void adjacent to the edges of the bowed side wall. A knife can be inserted through the edges of the bowed side wall into the void to cut the shipping carton without cutting the inner product cartons.
