An extension is provided at each end of a glue flap of a conventional carton blank, the extensions being glued to conventional carton dust flaps to thereby provide improved tamper resistance to a sealed end carton when intrusion is attempted along glue seam for purposes of violating the contents, i.e. pharmaceutical products and the like, contained within primary packaging contained within the carton (secondary packaging). The extensions prevent withdrawal of the dust flaps to which the extensions are glued after the glue seam is penetrated. If the dust flaps are forcibly withdrawn, positive visual indication of tampering will result to thereby alert a potential consumer.

1. In a product including secondary packaging means comprising a carton wherein one of four wall panels is provided with a glue lap for gluing to an interior surface of another of said four wall panels to form a rectangularly shaped carton having a glue lap seam, said carton including a pair of opposed dust flaps foldable and folded toward each other and provided at ends of a pair of opposing wall panels, a first closure flap provided at each end of another of said four wall panels for folding over said folded dust flaps, a second closure flap extending from each end of remaining of said four wall panels for overlapping said first closure flaps and glued thereto, and primary packaging means contained within said carton, said primary packaging means containing a consumable product therein, in combination, the improvement comprising an extension provided at each end of said glue lap, each of said extensions glued to a respective dust flap extending from said panel to which said glue lap is glued, said extensions foldable with said dust flaps, said carton providing tamper resistance to intrusion thereinto via said glue lap seam and visual evidence of said tampering upon physical separation of said glue lap from said wall panel carrying said dust flaps with said glue lap extensions. 2. The product of claim 1 wherein said consumable product is a pharmaceutical or medicinal product. 3. The product of claim 1 wherein said consumable product is contained within a capped bottle, ointment tube, pouched product, and the like. 4. The product of claim 1 wherein said carton is devoid of powder, particles and flakes in direct contact therewith. 5. The product of claim 1 wherein said primary packaging means is a capped bottle, ointment tube, pouched product, and the like. 6. The product of claim 1 wherein said primary packaging means is a plastic bag and the like. 7. Combined product of primary and secondary packaging, said primary packaging containing a pharmaceutical product and the like, said primary packaging contained within said secondary packaging, said secondary packaging comprising a rectangularly shaped carton formed from a carton blank having 4 wall panels and flaps at each end of each of said wall panels, said wall panels comprising a first outer panel, a first inner panel, a second inner panel and a second outer panel, a glue lap extending along a portion of length of said first outer panel for gluing to inner surface of said second outer panel, said flaps which extend from said first outer panel and second inner panel comprising opposed dust flaps, said flaps which extend from said first inner panel and said second outer panel comprising closure flaps, said dust flaps folded toward each other and said closure flaps folded thereover, said closure flaps extending from said second outer panel glued to closure flaps extending from said second inner panel, the improvement to said carton for rendering said carton more tamper resistant to intrusion therewithin, said intrusion occurring along a seam formed by said glue lap and second outer panel, said improvement comprising an extension at each end of said glue lap, one of said extensions glued to a dust flap extending from said second outer panel and other of said extensions glued to other dust flap of said second outer panel, whereby intrusion along said glue lap seam for entry within said carton provides visual indication or evidence of said intrusion. 8. Process for rendering a conventional rectangularly-shaped seal end carton more tamper-resistant when intrusion is initiated along glue lap seam thereof and tamper evident after said intrusion, said carton formed from a conventional carton blank including a glue lap, four panels, and flaps extending from ends of each of said panels, said flaps comprising a pair of opposed dust flaps at each end of said carton and a pair of opposed closure flaps at each end of said carton, the improvement to said carton for rendering it more tamper-resistant/evident comprising the steps of extending said glue lap at each end thereof to form glue lap extensions, gluing one of said glue lap extensions onto a dust flap of said panel to which said glue lap is glued, gluing other of said glue lap extensions onto other dust flap of said panel to which said glue lap is glued, end sealing said carton after inserting primary packaging therewithin, said primary packaging containing a pharmaceutical product and the like, said end sealing step including steps of gluing one of said closure flaps from each end of said carton extending from same panel onto other of said closure flaps at each end of said carton which overlay each pair of said opposed dust flaps. 9. The process of claim 8 wherein said primary packaging comprises a capped bottle, ointment tube, pouched product, plastic bag, and the like. 10. The process of claim 8 wherein each of said glue lap extension extends substantially the length of said dust flap to which said glue lap extension is glued. 11. Process for using a siftproof carton to contain primary packaging therein such as a capped bottle and the like for containing a pharmaceutical product and the like, said process rendering said carton more tamper resistant when intrusion is initiated along a glue lap seam thereof and more tamper evident when intrusion is effected along said glue lap seam, said carton formed from a conventional carton blank including a glue flap, four panels, and flaps extending from ends of each of said panels, said flaps extending from ends of each of said panels comprising a pair of opposed dust flaps at each end of said carton and a pair of opposed closure flaps at each end of said carton, an extension along said glue flap at each end thereof, said extensions glued to said dust flaps extending from a panel to which said glue flap is glued, said glue flap and said panel glued thereto forming said glue lap seam and a four-sided enclosure, said process comprising the steps of inserting said primary packaging within said enclosure, end sealing said carton with said primary packaging therewithin, said end sealing step including steps of gluing one of said closure flaps from each end of said carton extending from same panel onto other of said closure flaps at each end of said carton which overlay each pair of said opposed dust flaps. 12. Process claim 11 wherein said primary packaging is inserted into said carton after one end thereof has already been end sealed.
