A carton formed from sheet material for containers such as cans or bottles includes a top wall, a pair of side walls and a bottom wall interconnected to form a tubular structure. A notional strip is defined along the top wall, having notional side edges, and extends between the end edges and has a width less than the distance between the side edges. A pair of hand apertures is defined in the top panel, disposed generally astride the notional strip and generally along the notional side edges. A cut line is formed in the top panel and extends from an end edge of the aperture along one of the notional side edges and curves away therefrom to a termination point, the cut line defining a radius of curvature and an area within the arc of curvature. At least one score line is defined in the top panel and extends from a first point disposed within the radius of curvature generally to an adjacent corner of the top panel.
