<p>An enclosed article carrier (10) having upper sloping end panels (16) to conform to the shape of the end articles in the carrier. The end panels (16) are comprised of dust flaps (40) adhered to overlapping upper and lower end flaps (18, 20). Each dust flap is connected to the adjacent edge of its side panel (14) along angled fold lines (38), the bottom edge (50) of the dust flap being connected to the side panel adjacent the bottom panel (22) of the carrier. Each dust flap has a cutout (42) extending from its outer edge to a point spaced from the juncture of the fold lines. The carriers are thus strong enough to resist bowing during loading, resulting in well-aligned end panel flaps.</p> |
