A carton formed from sheet material for containers such as cans or bottles includes a top wall (12), a pair of side walls (14, 22), and a bottom wall (18) interconnected to complete a tubular structure. A notional strip (50) defined along the top wall (12) extends between the end edges of the top wall (12), and has a width less than the distance between said side edges of the top wall (12). A pair of finger apertures (26, 27) are defined in the top panel (12) and disposed along one side of the notional strip, while a thumb aperture (28) is defined in the top panel (12) and disposed along an opposite side of the notional strip (50). The pair of finger apertures (26, 27) define therebetween a bridge of the sheet material, with the thumb aperture (28) being disposed substantially across the notional strip (50) from said bridge.
