Title: Hand locked display carton and blank therefore

Abstract: A display carton for an elongated bottle is formed from a single blank and includes an upper display panel for advertising, and is wrapped about the length of the bottle to completely expose two opposed sides thereof. The carton is manually secured along the base thereof by an arrangement of bendable flanges pivotally connected to an outer base panel in cooperation with locking flanges disposed on an inner base panel. The bendable flanges are disposed perpendicular to the carton base and are generally arcuate in shape resulting in an interference fit between the bendable flanges and the inner surfaces of the carton, thus keeping the flanges in an upright, locked position, for maintaining the carton in a closed condition. The display carton includes apertures for engaging the top and bottom portions of the bottle therein, to prevent lateral shifting of the bottle within the carton, thus affording protection to the bottle during shipment and display.
