What does CARTON mean in Scrabble?
noun
A light box or container, typically made of cardboard or waxed board, used to package goods such as food, drink or cigarettes.
A carton is the everyday cardboard or waxed-paper container that holds liquids like milk and juice, stacks of eggs, or packs of cigarettes on a shop shelf, shaped to be light, foldable and easy to stack. Manufacturers favour cartons over glass or metal because they are cheap to produce, ship flat before filling, and can be printed with labels and barcodes directly on the surface. The word can also describe the quantity a single carton holds, as when a shop orders ten cartons of a product rather than ten boxes.
