Abstract

A sleeve style closed end carton for a can matrix. The carton includes a corner flap formed integral with each side wall at each end of each side wall. Those corner flaps are wrapped around the matrix corner cans in the carton relatively tightly so as to draw all cans of the matrix against one another in a plane normal to the can axis in order to aid in minimizing movement of the cans within the can matrix one relative to the other. The carton also includes a primary compound panel foldably connected along one edge to a first top wall section, and foldably connected along an opposite edge to a second top wall section, those top wall sections together forming the carton's top wall. This primary compound panel is sized so that when it is folded between the first and second top wall sections, then the top, bottom and opposed side walls of the carton are all wrapped relatively tightly around the can matrix in a plane parallel to the can axis also in order to aid in minimizing movement of the cans within the can matrix one relative to the other. And this primary compound panel also functions to provide a reinforced handle for the carton when a handle port is created in each of the two top wall sections on opposite sides of the primary compound panel when the can matrix is fully packaged.
