An improved dispensing carton for elongated flat articles such as milk filters is disclosed. The carton is of generally rectangular configuration and in preferred embodiments is adapted to dispense such elongated articles end-wise and one-at-a-time. Included within the container is a self-supporting member having a pull means that may be accessed through the dispensing opening. When the stack of articles is depleted to the point where access through the dispensing opening is difficult, the pull member may be slid forward carrying the remaining articles towards the dispensing opening and making them readily available. In a preferred embodiment resilient highly frictional foam tape is placed on the interior of a major panel and contacting the edges of the articles to be dispensed. Thus the articles other than the one actually dispensed tend to resist displacement and facilitate one-at-a-time dispensing. The container may be formed from conventional cartonboard or corrugate or from plastic materials. Alternative disclosed embodiments include wall mounting adhesive strips and an additional wedge-shaped insert to urge the contents towards the dispensing opening. In the preferred embodiment as a milk filter container, the invention provides improved access and convenience and may be used in conjunction with existing permanent dispensers.
