A convertible package dispenser to dispense a plurality of identical, smaller packages, is provided by a parallelepiped carton having hollow interior sized to receive the plurality of packages arranged in a row. The carton is formed by first and second pairs of opposing, rectangular longitudinal walls and one pair of opposing end walls smaller in size than the longitudinal walls. First slot openings are provided in each of the longitudinal walls of the first pair proximal one of the end walls in order to remove packages from the carton. Another slot opening is provided through such longitudinal walls proximal an opposing longitudinal end of the wall to insert packages that were removed. Removable covers in the form of removable tab elements are provided over the slot openings to retain the packages within the carton until the carton is set up to dispense packages. The carton can be stood upright on one or either of the end walls, depending upon the location of the slot openings, to use the carton as a merchandize tower dispenser. Preferably, the two longitudinal walls with slot openings are printed with indicia in two different languages so that either side may be selected for use to dispense packages. In addition, cuts, cut-outs, lines of perforation or other lines/areas of weakness are provided extending through the pair of end walls and the second pair of longitudinal walls entirely around the carton so that the carton may be broken into two halves and one of the two halves used as a flat, dispenser tray. Preferably there is printed text in different languages on either end wall so that either end wall may be used as the front wall of the tray depending upon the language desired to be exhibited on the front of the tray. |
