The cover panel includes a closure flap having means for securing to the front panel. The panels include left and right end flaps hingely connected to the respective panels. The end flaps are dimensioned to form a substantially sealed right and left ends of the carton.

The front and rear edges of the bottom panel end flaps are tapered such that they engage with the hingeline shoulders in the erected position and prevents bowing to the front and rear panels of the carton.
