A top panel ( 110 ), a pair of side panels ( 112, 114 ) attached to the top panel ( 110 ) and base panels ( 120, 122 ) form a tubular open-ended carton ( 700 ). End flaps ( 128, 130 ) extend from the top panel ( 110 ) at the open ends of the carton ( 700 ) and are provided with finger receiving areas ( 108 ) for grasping by a user. The end flaps ( 128, 130 ) are attached to the top panel ( 110 ) and are deflectable from an extended position to an interior position when grasped by a user. Relief slits ( 144 ), fold lines, and score lines may be provided at predetermined locations to allow the end panels ( 128, 130 ) to deflect inward and the top panel ( 110 ) to deflect upward when the carton ( 700 ) is grasped by a user, thereby providing a convenient means to carry the carton ( 700 ) which also provides means for a tightening the carton ( 700 ) about the articles ( 810 ).
