Claim:
A shipping carton comprising: a product within said carton; a plurality of side components and bottom components angularly attached to each other to form a base enclosure with a top opening; a plurality of top components that are connected to said plurality of side components and fold shut to close the top opening; a foldout tab disposed on a base of each of at least two of said side components, each of said foldout tabs being positioned so that said foldout tabs are extendable in an orientation that is substantially parallel with a surface on which said shipping carton rests and that is substantially coplanar with said bottom components such that said foldout tabs are capable of lying against the surface to permit a user to place a foot on each of said foldout tabs to provide leverage for the user to use when removing said product from said shipping carton through the top opening; wherein said foldout tabs are located on opposite ones of said side components of said base enclosure such that said foldout tabs extend in opposite directions from said base enclosure when extended in said substantially coplanar relationship with said bottom components; wherein each of said opposite side components has a width with a midline dividing each of said opposite side components into two side sections, each of said foldout tabs being substantially located on one side section of each of said opposite side components; said product being sized such that, after said foldout tabs have been extended, removal of the product through said side components is precluded.
