A display carton for an elongated bottle of smaller length and width than the carton is characterized by upper and lower support structures for restraining lateral and longitudinal movement of the bottle within the carton. The upper structure is in the form of a transverse strut having a U-shaped cut-out corresponding in configuration, and adapted to engage, the cap of the bottle. The lower support structure includes a portion that is adhesively bonded to the inside of the back panel of the carton and is hingedly connected to an inclined support member having an aperture corresponding in configuration to the base portion of the bottle. The aperture has a V-shaped cut which serves the purpose of guiding and funneling the bottle into the carton as it is automatically loaded by conventional automatic loading equipment. Preferably, the front panel includes slanted shadow panels, for aesthetic purposes and to expose substantially the entire length of the elongated bottle.
