Each of the foldable flaps (118, 120; 214, 216; 314, 316) extends to a free end. A free end of a first one of the foldable flaps (118, 120; 214, 216; 314, 316) is disposed at a first distance (Wc1, Wc2, Lcf) from a free end of a second one of pair of foldable flaps (118, 120; 214, 216; 314, 316) when in an erected form to create a cover (190; 290; 390). The first distance (Wc1, Wc2, Lcf) is equal to or less than a linear dimension (Lt1, Wt2) of a tray (90) formed from the tray blank (10).

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 multiple containers may include an upper carrier portion having several carrier sections. Each carrier section may include an attachment panel that at least partially defines multiple container openings for at least partially receiving respective containers and may include container retention tabs foldably connected to the attachment panel and extending into the container openings for at least partially engaging the containers. A handle panel may be foldably connected to each attachment panel. The carrier may further include a lower tray portion having panels that extend at least partially around an interior of the lower tray portion, including a bottom panel, at least one end panel, and at least one side panel. The interior of the lower tray portion may at least partially receive the containers, and each carrier section may be separably connected to at least one side panel of the lower tray portion.

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.

An article carrier for engaging at least one article has spaced apart panels including an engaging panel and a cover panel hingedly connected together by a side panel. The engaging panel includes at least one article retention structure having an annular series of engaging tabs and a friction flap. The friction flap is surrounded by the annular series of engaging tabs. The friction flap is coupled to the engaging panel by at least one connecting tab. The at least one connecting tab is located proximate a fold line between the engaging panel and the side panel.

A carrier for holding a plurality of containers, the carrier includes a front portion, the front portion including a portion of at least one attachment panel for at least partially receiving a respective container of the plurality of containers, a back portion, the back portion including a portion of the at least one attachment panel for at least partially receiving a respective container of the plurality of containers, and a reinforcement portion extending from the front portion to the back portion for reinforcing the carrier.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to an article carrier for packaging one or more articles and a blank for forming the carrier. The carrier comprises a main panel having one or more article retention structures for receiving and securing the main panel to a respective article. The article retention structures each comprise a perimeter. The perimeter is interrupted by at least one major cutaway in the form of a notch or recess, and at least one minor cutaway in the form of a notch or recess, wherein the at least one major cutaway comprises a first angular dimension and the at least one minor cutaway comprises a second angular dimension, the first angular dimension being greater in magnitude than the second angular dimension.

A tray includes a first outer side wall, a bottom wall hingedly attached to the first outer side wall, a second outer side wall hingedly attached to the bottom wall, a first inner side wall coupled to the first outer side wall by a first plurality of connecting segments defining at least a first container receptacle, and a second inner side wall coupled to the second outer side wall by a second plurality of connecting segments defining at least a second container receptacle.

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.
