Classic situation for a "numbers table" or "dimension table".
Create a table called tblNumbers containing a single PK field. Populate it
with numbers from 1 to whatever you may need.  Then include that table in
your query

SELECT QyrLabels.Name, qryLabels,Adress,, tblNumbers.Number,
qryLabels.Cartons
FROM qryLables, tblNumbers
WHERE tblNumbers.Number<=[Cartons];
Order by Name,Number

will return something like

Name    Address    Number   Cartons
Joe      1 Main St      1                3
Joe      1 Main St      2                3
Joe      1 Main St      3                3
Fred     2 New St     1                 2
Fred     2 New St     2                 2
