A carton includes a top portion and a bottom portion. Each portion includes a front wall, a rear wall, and opposing side walls extending therebetween. The top portion and bottom portion include respective top and bottom surfaces. The rear walls of the top and bottom portions are hingedly connected to another along respective outer edges. When closed, the top portion and bottom portion define a cavity for storing an item. The carton also includes a separation region defined on the top and bottom portions that extends from an outside edge of the front wall of the top portion, around the top portion and the bottom portion, to an outside edge of the front wall of the bottom portion. The separation region is configured to facilitate controlled separation of the carton into first and second side portions and to prevent liquid flow through separation region.

1. A carton comprising: a top portion that includes a front wall, a rear wall, and opposing side walls extending therebetween, and a top surface extending between inside edges thereof;a bottom portion that includes a front wall, rear wall, and opposing side walls extending therebetween, and a bottom surface extending between inside edges thereof, wherein the rear wall of the top portion and the rear wall of the bottom portion are hingedly connected to another along respective outer edges of the rear walls, wherein when closed, the top portion and bottom portion define a cavity for storing an item;a separation region comprising a tear strip that extends from an outside edge of the front wall, along the front wall, top surface, and rear wall of the top portion, to the rear wall, bottom surface, and to an outside edge of the front wall of the bottom portion, the tear strip defined by a pattern of repeated uncut segments that are separated by a perforation, wherein a width of the tear strip is uniform across the front wall and top surface of the top portion, then tapers to a narrower width at the top edge of the rear wall, to facilitate controlled separation of the carton into first and second side portions; anda barrier material that covers at least the perforations to prevent liquid from flowing through the perforations, to prevent liquid flow through the perforations of the separation region. 2. The carton according to claim 1, wherein each of the first and second side portions include an entire sidewall of the top portion; a section of the front wall, top surface, and rear wall of the top portion; an entire sidewall of the bottom portion; and a section of the bottom surface, top surface, and rear wall of the bottom portion. 3. The carton according to claim 1, wherein a length of the uncut segment is about 9/16 inch and a length of the perforation is about 1/16 inch. 4. The carton according to claim 1, wherein the carton comprises a corrugated paper material. 5. The carton according to claim 1, wherein the carton is formed from a single sheet of material. 6. The carton according to claim 1, wherein the carton comprises a corrugated paper material. 7. A method for manufacturing a carton, the method comprising: providing a planar material;cutting the material to remove excess material;forming a separation region corresponding to a tear strip along a major axis of the cut planar material, by forming a pattern of repeated uncut segments that are separated from one another by a perforation, where the width of the tear strip is uniform across one or more surface sections that correspond to a front wall and a top surface of the assembled carton, and wherein the tear strip narrows across a surface section that corresponds to a rear wall of the assembled carton; andapplying a barrier material over the perforations to prevent liquid from flowing through the perforations, wherein the separation region is configured to facilitate controlled separation of the carton, when assembled, into first and second side portions, and to prevent liquid flow through the perforations of the separation region. 8. The method according to claim 7, further comprising: creasing the planar material to define a plurality of fold lines that define different planar sections of the carton; folding the planar material along the fold lines to thereby provide an assembled carton, wherein the carton includes: a top portion that includes a front wall, a rear wall, and opposing side walls extending therebetween, and a top surface extending between inside edges thereof; and a bottom portion that includes a front wall, rear wall, and opposing side walls extending therebetween, and a bottom surface extending between inside edges thereof, wherein the rear wall of the top portion and the rear wall of the bottom portion are hingedly connected to another along respective outer edges of the rear walls, wherein when closed, the top portion and bottom portion define a cavity for storing an item, wherein the separation region is further defined on the bottom portion and further extends from the top portion, through the bottom portion and to an outside edge of the front wall of the bottom portion. 9. The method according to claim 8, wherein each of the first and second side portions include an entire sidewall of the top portion; a section of the front wall, top surface, and rear wall of the top portion; an entire sidewall of the bottom portion; and a section of the bottom surface, top surface, and rear wall of the bottom portion. 10. The method according to claim 7, wherein a length of the uncut segment is about 9/16 inch and a length of the perforation is about 1/16 inch.
