A tamper-proof dispensing carton particularly suited for packaging of elongated articles is of generally rectangular configuration including a top panel having a central arcuate opening, with a strip extending diametrically across the opening to divide the opening into two segments, and with the strip being releasably connected to the top panel. Secured to the inside surface of the top panel and extending across the arcuate opening is a covering formed by two sections which overlap along a seam disposed immediately below the diametrically extending strip. By this arrangement, the dispensing carton may be displayed on a shelf without requiring an additional outer wrapping, and the consumer may readily obtain access to the contents of the carton by merely removing the diametrically extending strip. The removable strip also functions to make the dispensing carton tamper-proof while on the store shelf.
