Aspects of the disclosure relate to a
package, a
carton (90) for packaging a plurality of articles (B), and to a blank (10) for forming the
carton (90). The
carton (90) comprising a plurality of panels which includes a pair of panels (12, 24) and a locking device for securing a first one of the pair of panels (12, 24) in a face-contacting arrangement with a second one of the pair of panels (12, 24). The locking device (L) comprises a first engaging element (M, M'; M1, M1'; M2, M2'; M3, M3'; M4; M5; M6) provided by one of the pair of panels (12, 24) for engaging with a second engaging element (F, F') provided by the other one of the pair of panels (12, 24). The first engaging elements (M, M'; M1, M1'; M2, M2'; M3, M3'; M4; M5; M6) comprise a male tab (M, M'; M1, M1'; M2, M2'; M3, M3'; M4; M5; M6) hingedly connected to said one of the pair of panels (12, 24). The male tab (M, M'; M1, M1'; M2, M2'; M3, M3'; M4; M5; M6) comprises a pair of opposed side edges (SE1, SE2), at least one of which is a toothed, edge. A first side edge (SE1) defines a first notional line (N1, N1B; N3, N3B; N5, N5B; N1', N1B'; N3', N3B'; N5', N5B'). A second side edge (SE2) defines a second notional line (N2, N2B; N4, N4B; N6, N6B; N2'; N4'; N6'). The first notional line (N3, N3B; N5, N5B; N3', N3B'; N5', N5B') and second notional line (N4, N4B; N6, N6B; N4'; N6') are divergently arranged with respect to each other. The at least one toothed edge defines a plurality of locking positions or locations so as to facilitate securement of differing proportions of the male tab (M, M'; M1, M1'; M2, M2'; M3, M3'; M4; M5; M6) received in the receiving opening.
