A blank capable of being formed into a carton for enclosing a plurality of containers that includes a first side panel, a top panel, a second side panel, a bottom panel, an adhesive flap, at least one first end flap extending along a first marginal area of the blank, and at least one second end flap
A blank capable of being formed into a carton for enclosing a plurality of containers that includes a first side panel, a top panel, a second side panel, a bottom panel, an adhesive flap, at least one first end flap extending along a first marginal area of the blank, and at least one second end flap extending along a second marginal area of the blank. A tear line is formed in the top panel, the first side panel, and the second side panel. In some embodiments, the tear line in each side panel extends perpendicular from the top panel and continues to at least one turn to proceed into side panel end flaps. One or more stair steps can be included in each side panel along the tear line. Separation of a detachable portion from the carton along the tear line creates an opening through which the containers can be removed.

What is claimed is: 1. A blank for forming a carton comprising: a first side panel; a top panel; a second side panel; a bottom panel; an adhesive flap; at least one first end flap extending along a first marginal area of the blank; at least one second end flap extending along a second marginal area
What is claimed is: 1. A blank for forming a carton comprising: a first side panel; a top panel; a second side panel; a bottom panel; an adhesive flap; at least one first end flap extending along a first marginal area of the blank; at least one second end flap extending along a second marginal area of the blank; a tear line extending through at least the top panel, the first side panel, and the second side panel, respectively, wherein the tear line extends from the top panel into the first side panel in a first direction substantially perpendicular to the top panel for a distance to a first turn; the tear line then extending a first run distance in a second direction to a second turn; the tear line then extending in the first direction for a first rise distance to a third turn; the tear line then extending in the second direction through the first side panel into a first side panel end flap and through the second side panel into a second side panel end flap, respectively; the first direction being substantially perpendicular to the second direction, the first turn, second turn, and third turn being in the first side panel. 2. The blank of claim 1, wherein the tear line extends into the first side panel a distance greater than halfway between a fold line that separates the top panel and the first side panel and a fold line that separates the first side panel from the adhesive flap. 3. The blank of claim 1, wherein the tear line extends into the second side panel a distance greater than halfway between a fold line that separates the top panel and the second side panel and a fold line that separates the second side panel from the bottom panel. 4. The blank of claim 1, including a finger flap formed in the top panel. 5. In combination, a substantially parallelepiped carton formed from the blank of claim 1 and a plurality of articles enclosed within the carton. 6. The blank of claim 1 wherein the tear line comprises a first portion extending from the top panel to the first turn, a second portion extending from the first turn to the second turn, a third portion extending from the second turn to the third turn, and a fourth portion extending from the third turn to the first side panel end flap. 7. A carton for enclosing a plurality of containers, the carton comprising: a first side panel; a top panel; a second side panel; a bottom panel; an adhesive flap; at least one first end flap extending along a first marginal area of the blank; at least one second end flap extending along a second marginal area of the blank; a tear line extending through at least the top panel, the first side panel, and the second side panel, respectively, wherein the tear line extends from the top panel into the first side panel in a first direction substantially perpendicular to the top panel for a distance to a first turn; the tear line then extending a first run distance in a second direction to a second turn; the tear line then extending in the first direction for a first rise distance to a third turn; the tear line then extending in the second direction through the first side panel into a first side panel end flap and through the second side panel into a second side panel end flap, respectively; the first direction being substantially perpendicular to the second direction, the first turn, second turn, and third turn being in the first side panel; wherein separation of a detachable portion along the tear line creates an opening in the carton through which the containers can be removed. 8. The carton of claim 7, wherein the tear line extends into the first side panel a distance greater than halfway between a fold line that separates the top panel and the first side panel and a fold line that separates the first side panel from the adhesive flap. 9. The carton of claim 7, wherein the tear line extends into the second side panel a distance greater than halfway between a fold line that separates the top panel and the second side panel and a fold line that separates the second side panel from the bottom panel. 10. The carton of claim 7, including a finger flap formed in the top panel. 11. A method of removing articles from a carton, comprising: providing the carton and plurality of articles according to claim 7; tearing the carton along at least a part of the tear line; removing a portion of the carton defined by the tear line to create an opening; and removing an article from the opening of the carton. 12. The carton of claim 7 wherein the tear line comprises a first portion extending from the top panel to the first turn, a second portion extending from the first turn to the second turn, a third portion extending from the second turn to the third turn, and a fourth portion extending from the third turn to the first side panel end flap. 13. A carton for enclosing a plurality of containers, the carton comprising: a plurality of panels that extends at least partially around an interior of the carton, the plurality of panels comprises at least two side panels, a top panel, and a bottom panel; at least two end flaps respectively foldably attached to respective panels of the plurality of panels, wherein the end flaps at least partially form a closed end of the carton; a dispenser for allowing access to the containers in the carton, the dispenser comprising a detachable portion that is at least partially defined by a tear line in the carton and is for being at least partially removed for at least further opening a dispenser opening, the tear line comprising a first portion extending through the top panel and into at least one of the side panels in a first direction substantially perpendicular to the top panel, a second portion in the at least one side panel extending from the first portion in a second direction, a third portion in the at least one side panel extending from the second portion in the first direction, a fourth portion in the at least one side panel extending from the third portion in the second direction to one of the at least two end flaps, the first direction being substantially perpendicular to the second direction. 14. The carton of claim 13 wherein the tear line comprises a first turn at an intersection of the first portion and the second portion, a second turn at an intersection of the second portion and the third portion, and a third turn at an intersection of the third portion and the fourth portion.
