A carrier for holding a plurality of containers includes a plurality of panels including at least one attachment panel for at least partially receiving at least one container of the plurality of containers and at least one handle panel foldably connected to the at least one attachment panel. The at least one handle panel at least partially forms a handle of the carrier and at least partially defines a locking feature along a free edge for at least partially engaging a respective container of the plurality of containers. The handle is positionable between a first position, in which the handle panel extends generally upwardly from the at least one attachment panel, and a second position, in which the handle panel is folded relative to the at least one attachment panel such that the locking feature is positioned for at least partially engaging a respective container of the plurality of containers.

A multiple bottle carrier of cardboard or the like cellulosic material has a center portion and two lateral portions which are orthogonally arranged with respect to the center portion and originate from a basis of the center portion. Each lateral portion has one or more holes, each of which is surrounded by a crown of adjacent separate tabs, whose folding upwards permits insertion of a neck of a respective bottle that is prevented from coming out of the hole. Each lateral portion has a longitudinal folding line which is intermediate between the basis of the center portion and a distal side of the lateral portion. A median aperture has an upper portion extending through the center portion and lower portions extending through a proximal part of each lateral portion. The upper portion of the median aperture allows insertion of hand fingers of a user.
