A carrier for holding a plurality of containers includes a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carrier, the plurality of panels includes a front panel, a back panel, a first side panel, and a second side panel. The carrier also includes a central partition that divides the carrier into a front portion and a back portion, with each of the front portion and the back portion having at least one divider flap to divide the front portion and the back portion into respective compartments for receiving a respective article. The carrier also includes a plurality of reinforcement flaps foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels, the plurality of reinforcement flaps includes at least one divider reinforcement flap reinforcing the at least one divider flap.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a nestable blank for forming a basket-style carrier. The blank comprises a plurality of panels for forming walls of the carrier, which panels include a first side panel, a second side panel and a bottom panel. The first side panel is hinged to the bottom panel and the bottom panel is asymmetrical. The bottom panel has first and second opposed end edges, and the first end edge is offset from a first end edge of the adjacent first side panel by a first distance. The second end edge of the bottom panel is offset from a second end edge of the adjacent first side panel by a second distance, and the first distance is greater than the second distance. The bottom panel also comprises a beveled corner.

A carrier for holding at least one container includes a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carrier, the plurality of panels includes a front panel, a back panel, at least one central panel, at least one side panel, and at least one bottom panel. At least one divider flap is foldably connected to one of the front panel and the back panel, the at least one divider flap folded away from the one of the front panel and the back panel to form at least one opening in the one of the front panel and the back panel, the at least one divider flap extends through the interior of the carrier to the at least one central panel.

A carrier (90) for packaging articles is formed from a single unitary blank (10). The carrier includes primary panels (14, 16, 18, 20) hingedly connected together to form a tubular structure having an interior space. A bottom closure structure (30b, 34b) at least partially closes a lower end of the tubular structure. At least one of the primary panels (16, 20) may include a handle (H1, H2). A handle reinforcing panel (30a, 34a) is secured to the inside surface of the at least one of the primary panels. A partition structure (P1, P2) is hingedly connected to the handle reinforcing panel and disposed in the tubular structure to divide the interior space of the tubular structure into two or more cells for receiving articles.
