Carton and carton blank
Abstract
A divisible carton (C) comprising two or more modular parts (B,B1) for packaging articles, such as tablets for example, each modular part (B,B1) having access means (238) for removing articles from that modular part (B,B1). The carton (C) has a common outer cover arranged so as to secure the modular parts (B,B1) together. The outer cover has a tear strip (266) which can be removed to permit the modular parts (B,B1) to be separated. The modular parts (B,B1) are secured together such that the access means (238) of each modular part (B,B1) is oriented to prevent that access means (238) from being operable until one of the modular parts (B,B1) is separated from the next adjacent modular part (B,B1) by removing the tear strip (266).
