A carton with a handle and recloseable lid. The carton is formed of foldable material and can be efficiently reclosed after opening to prevent spillage or leakage of the product contained by the carton. The recloseable lid includes upper and lower panels which are in spaced-apart relation to each other. When the lid is closed, the upper panel forms a top for the carton and the lower panel forms a partition inside the carton. The lower compartment forms the containment area for product placed into the container. The upper compartment forms a space for the fingers and hand of a user inserted through a handle opening defined in the upper panel of the lid for carrying the carton. The upper panel includes a pair of flaps each one of which is connected to the ends of the upper panel adjacent to the hingedly connected side of the upper panel. The flaps fold downward and insert into the carton when the lid is closed. When the lid is open, the flaps stay tucked inside the upper edges of side panels of the carton, or alternatively, engage upper edges of side panels of the carton and hold the lid in an open configuration. A top panel is connected to the side opposite the side to which the lid is connected. The top panel overlays a portion of the upper panel of the lid and includes a flap for engaging the lid handle to lock the lid in a closed configuration.
