Sleeve-style beverage carton

摘要

A sleeve-style beverage carton for use on a carton filling machine having traveling flight bars is disclosed. The carton may be formed in various models for use in packaging either cans or bottles and contains a novel first cut-out formed in the dust flaps of the carton. The first cut-out is sized a predetermined length to provide a cut-out area so that the dust flaps can be revolved during the filling operation to clear the traveling flight bar used in the carton filling machine. A second pair of cut-outs may be formed in the dust flaps for similar purposes. A third and fourth pair of cut-outs may be formed in the dust flaps to minimize drag in combination with the first and second pair of cut-outs on one version of the carton. A fifth and sixth pair of cut-outs may be used with one of the models shown to aid in proper alignment of the carton end panels.
