<p>A tubular carton (200) is configured to be erected to a first pre-load height, and then to a second post-load height. This carton comprises a top wall (108), a bottom wall (102), and a pair of opposed side walls (104. 106). The walls (102, 104, 106, 108) define a void of a first height for receiving articles, such as tapered bottles (B). In addition, this carton includes a structure (132a) that funnels the articles into the void, such that the articles force the carton to flex along a score line (136, 138) and at least a portion of one or more walls to retract inwardly, thereby increasing the height of the void from a first height to a second greater height. The funneling structure may be connected to one of the walls (108) and, after loading of the articles, is arranged to seal the carton.</p> |
