Talk:Carton

More recently?
"More recently egg cartons have also be made from expanded polystyrene (similar to styrofoam) and PET." I remember sytrofoam egg cartons in the 1970's. I suppose that could be "more recent" than the 1960's. I see far more molded paper pulp egg cartons in stores than foam ones now. Bizzybody (talk) 08:36, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Milk cartons
Whatever happened to the 1-gallon waxed paper milk carton? Bizzybody (talk) 08:40, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

The Perga carton was created in 1932 by Jagenberg Werke, AG. The design was popular during WW1 for its leak-proof paper can for marmalade. It had ribbed and paraffin-coated paper sleeves. Circular base and a square top. Renaissance in the early 1950s... one of the most popular carrying designs in the 60's.

Cereal box
If this article covers cereal boxes, this should also detail the use of cereal boxes that are used to illustrate stars (ie. the cover of a Wheaties box and others, with star athletes) 70.49.124.225 (talk) 10:45, 23 April 2012 (UTC)

Since the Etan Patz case has been reopened, there has been some info on the news about his being the origin of putting kids' pictures on milk cartons. See http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/upshot/etan-patz-history-missing-kids-milk-cartons-193522080.html which mentions that the idea of doing so came from the Anderson Erickson dairy in Iowa who had done so previously.

to the best of my knowledge, bill smith of port reading nj & an employee of Tuscan dairy, union nj 1st proposed adding missing children's pictures to the milk carton (probably 1982 or so). he was nationally recognized by nancy Reagan, wife of the president. we have pictures of her & bill smith. I don't know about the other "pretenders" or who was 1st, but I don't know why bill would be recognized by the 1st lady if he was not the first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jango1958 (talk • contribs) 18:24, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

Gable Top The inventor of milk cartons was Jon Van Wormer. It was called a gable top and now it's used as a milk carton. The milk carton took more than two decades to get the shape right. By the 1950s the milk carton became popular. Gable top cartons are often used for liquid products such as milk, juice, etc. These use a polyethylene-coated paperboard. or other liquid packaging board and sometimes a foil laminate. Most are opened by pushing open the gables at the top back and pulling the top (spout) out. Some have fitments to assist in opening and eating the contents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Northsideknights (talk • contribs) 17:49, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
