A method of packaging two cylindrical cans having the same height and diameter includes partially erecting a sleeve from a blank so as to have a single opening at the bottom of the sleeve; arranging the two cylindrical cans side-by-side in the partially erected sleeve such that a side of each cylindrical can extends beyond an outer periphery of the sleeve; securing the cans in the sleeve by folding a cross-panel over the opening at a location between the two cans such that the opening is divided into two smaller openings sized to prevent the cans from passing therethrough; and wherein a measured distance from the cross-panel to a side panel of the sleeve in the two smaller openings is less than a diameter of one of the cylindrical cans.

A carrier for holding a plurality of containers, the carrier includes a plurality of panels including an attachment panel, a first side panel foldably connected to the attachment panel, and a second side panel foldably connected to the attachment panel, container retention features including a plurality of container openings in the attachment panel for at least partially receiving a respective container of the plurality of containers, and locking features for maintaining a secure engagement of the carrier with the plurality of containers, the locking features including at least one locking tab foldably connected to one of the first side panel and the second side panel, and at least one locking cut at least partially receiving the at least one locking tab, the at least one locking cut positioned in the other of the first side panel and the second side panel.

A carrier for holding one or more containers includes a front portion having a front attachment panel comprising one or more openings for at least partially receiving a respective container of the one or more containers and at least one reinforcement tab that extends at least partially around a respective one of the one or more openings for reinforcing the carrier.

A carrier for holding one or more containers includes a front portion having a front attachment panel comprising one or more openings for at least partially receiving a respective container of the one or more containers and at least one reinforcement tab that extends at least partially around a respective one of the one or more openings for reinforcing the carrier.

A system for holding a plurality of containers includes an upper construct having a plurality of panels, each panel of the plurality of panels comprising a plurality of container retention features for at least partially receiving a respective container of the plurality of containers, and a lower construct, the lower having a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the lower construct for at least partially receiving the plurality of containers.

A clip type carrier for packaging articles of the type having a rim, bead, chime, undercut, waist or the like. The carrier comprises a first layer having a plurality of generally circular apertures and a second layer having a plurality of respective locking apertures. The locking apertures are provided with a plurality of locking tabs for engaging under an article rim in use. An aggregate effective aperture diameter, being approximately the generally circular aperture minus twice the thickness of the locking tabs, is greater than the diameter of the container rim, causing formation of a reinforcing rim at the periphery of the generally circular aperture once applied.

A carrier for holding a plurality of containers includes an upper web, the upper web including a central panel at least partially defining a plurality of container retention openings for at least partially receiving a respective container of the plurality of containers, a lower web, the lower web including a central panel at least partially defining a plurality of container retention openings for at least partially receiving a respective container of the plurality of containers, the plurality of container retention openings of the upper web aligned with the plurality of container retention openings of the lower web, and reinforcement features including at least one reinforcement panel foldably connected to one of the central panel of the upper web or the central panel of the lower web, the at least one reinforcement panel positioned between the central panel of the upper web and the central panel of the lower web.

A beverage carrying card includes a board including a central portion, two sidewall portions connected to two opposite sides of the central portion, and two handle portions respectively connected to the sidewall portions at another side thereof. A fold line is arranged between the central portion and each of the sidewall portions and between each of the handle portions and each of the sidewall portions. The central portion is formed with at least one through hole. Each handle portion is formed with a handle opening. Each handle opening is connected with a hook-up plate for combining the handle portions together. One end of each handle portion that is adjacent to the sidewall portion has a length shorter than that of the sidewall portion. A waterproof pearly layer is combined on a surface of the board and is formed with a waterproof pearly through hole to correspond to the through hole.
