A shipping carton displays two rows of packaged products stacked upon one another with package indicia facing a front opening. The carton (100) includes a top opening through which the packaged products are loaded in a vertical orientation. The top opening is closable by two opposing flaps (112) that adjoin along a top center line (114), and sealable with an adhesive strip (120) that extends along the top and onto opposing front and back surfaces of the container. The carton also includes a removable panel (160) defined by a line of weakness (162) spanning across the front surface and an adjacent side surface. The removable panel defines two protrusions (170) on opposing sides of the opening on the front surface. A portion of the adhesive strip (120) closing the top opening extends onto one of the protrusions (170).
