<p>A flat end closure arrangement particularly for a paperboard carton which may include an aluminium foil barrier, wherein there are no overstressed folds and a minimum build-up of thicknesses, to minimise the tendency for fractures of the respective barriers to occur. Two oppositely disposed closure panels (12/20, 16) include provisions for the edge portion of their centre segments to overlap one another, while being covered by the remaining two oppositely disposed closure panels (14, 18). More specifically, the underlying closure panels each includes score lines which coverage toward the respective free edge of which panels, while one includes one horizontal score line (64) connecting two parallel vertical score lines (60, 62) which define the centre segment (16a') for folding back onto the closure panel (16a) beneath the centre segment (12a/20a) of the other closure panel.</p> |
