A carton comprises first and second panels disposed in an overlapping relationship, and an interlocking arrangement for interconnecting the first and second panels. The interlocking arrangement comprises a slit formed in the first panel, and a tab projecting from the free end edge of the second panel and received in the slit. The slit includes a main slit portion disposed generally along the free end edge of the first panel, an intermediate slit potion emanating from an end of the main slit portion and extending away from the free end edge of the first panel, and a terminal slit portion emanating from the intermediate slit portion and extending away from the main slit portion to be disposed generally along the free end edge of the first panel. The tab comprises an ear protruding from at least one of the opposite side edges of the tab. The carton is characterised in that a fold line is disposed between the intermediate and terminal slit portions such that an engaging flap is defined by the fold line and the intermediate and terminal slit portions and connected to the first panel along the fold line. The carton is also characterised in that the ear of the tab is disposed in engagement with the engaging flap.
