A carrier for holding one or more articles. The carrier can comprise a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carrier and a bottom wall extending along the interior of the carrier. The bottom wall can comprise a first locking member and a second locking member, wherein the first locking member and the second locking member engage one another to form the bottom wall. The first locking member can comprise a first bottom panel and a first bottom flap in an at least partially overlapping relationship, and the second locking member can comprise a second bottom panel and a second bottom flap in an at least partially overlapping relationship. The carrier further can comprise a central wall foldably connected to one or more panels of the plurality of panels.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to an article carrier (90) for packaging a plurality of articles and to a blank (10) for forming the article carrier. The article carrier comprises a plurality of primary panels (12,14,16,18) for forming a tubular structure and defining an interior thereof. The plurality of primary panels includes a first panel (12) and a second panel (14) opposing the first panel. The article carrier further comprises a partition structure for dividing the interior into two or more article-receiving cells. The carrier is formed form a blank comprising a partition-forming section (PS) which comprises a primary partition panel (22,24) and a secondary partition panel(40,44,36,46) formed from the primary partition panel and hingedly connected at one of the opposing ends thereof to the primary partition panel. The upper edge (E1) of the secondary partition panel is defined at least in part by a cutaway (R1) extending from a free end edge (E3) of the blank.

A construct for providing divider features in the interior of a tray includes a plurality of panels including at least one central panel, at least one bottom panel foldably connected to the at least one central panel, and at least one divider panel foldably connected to the at least one bottom panel, and divider features including at least one divider wall extending upwardly from the at least one bottom panel and including the at least one divider panel.

The invention provide a package system comprising: at least one secondary packaging container (95) holding at least one primary container (B); and a tertiary packaging carton (57; 157) holding the at least one secondary packaging container (95). The at least one secondary packaging container (95) is of the basket carrier style having an open-topped structure and comprises a base wall (78/80); opposed first and second side walls (14, 18); opposed first and second end walls (12, 16); and a medial handle structure (20/22) connected to the first and second end walls (12, 16) and disposed between the first and second side walls (14, 18). Additionally, at least one corner structure (14a) is disposed between the first side wall (14) and the first end wall (12) of the secondary packaging container (95). At least one corner structure (43a) is also disposed between the first side wall and the first end wall of the tertiary packaging carton.

A carrier for packaging one or more articles, includes outer walls (12, 16, 18, 22a, 22b, 24a, 24b) which define an interior of the carrier. An intermediate wall (30a, 30b) at least partially segregates the interior of the carrier in a first direction. A partition structure (50a, 52a) divides the interior of the carrier in a second transverse direction. The partition structure is struck, at least in part, from one (16) of the outer walls. The partition structure is configured and arranged to be automatically erected in the interior of the carrier in response to unfolding a flat collapsed folded blank when the carrier is erected.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to an article carrier having a carrying handle formed within a medial partition structure. The carrying handle (H) has an engaging edge that is disposed at a non-zero angle relative to an upper edge of the medial partition structure, and the engaging edge is disposed in an off-centre position within the medial partition structure.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to an article carrier for packaging a plurality of articles. The article carrier (90) comprises a plurality of primary panels (16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26) which form a tubular structure having an interior chamber. The plurality of primary panels includes: a first panel (14, 28); and a second panel (18, 24) opposing the first panel (14, 28). The carrier (90) further comprises a partition structure (P1, P2) dividing the interior chamber into two or more article-receiving cells.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to an article carrier for packaging a plurality of flanged articles, a blank for forming the article carrier. The article carrier comprises a plurality of primary panels for forming a tubular structure and defining an interior thereof. The plurality of primary panels includes a first panel and a second panel opposing the first panel. The article carrier further comprises a partition structure for dividing the interior into two or more article-receiving cells. The partition structure is formed from the first panel and comprises a lateral partition panel. The lateral partition panel is hingedly connected at a proximal end to the first panel by a proximal end fold line and is hingedly connected at a distal end to a glue panel by a distal end joint. The distal end joint between the lateral partition panel and the glue panel comprises a twistable strip extending between and joined with the lateral partition panel and the glue panel.

An alcoholic beverage package, said package comprising a base member with a plurality of upper cover flap members integral to and hinged to the base member. A handle member is mounted to an outer surface of one of the upper cover flap members, the handle member being adapted to fit into a slot defined by an opposite flap member allowing the flap members to be secured together over the base member forming a chamber. A plurality of shot glasses are mounted inside the chamber and supported by the base member with the shot glasses being held in place within the chamber by an insert member mounted to the base member and engaging said shot glasses. Each of the shot glasses contains an alcoholic spirit and has a sealed removable lid. A second integral insert is secured to the base member and is provided with a plurality of spaced apertures which hold and space said shot glasses.
