A container carrier for unitizing a plurality of containers includes a plurality of outer bands and inner bands forming an array of container receiving apertures arranged in two or more transverse pairs. Each outer band of the plurality of outer bands forms a convex container engaging portion of each container receiving aperture. Each inner band of the plurality of inner bands forms a concave container engaging portion of each container receiving aperture. A central grasping aperture is positioned between each transverse pair of container receiving apertures and includes opposite radiused ends and a pair of radiused finger holds extending along each side. An oblong stress relief cutout is positioned along each inner band between each container receiving aperture and each central grasping aperture. The resulting geometry enables a rim applied carrier that is resistant to failure due to large temperature swings from ambient.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to an article carrier (90; 190; 390; 490) for packaging one or more articles and a blank (10; 110; 210; 310; 410; 510) for forming the carrier. The carrier (90; 190; 390; 490) comprises a main panel (12; 112; 212; 312; 412; 512) having one or more article retention structures (RT1, RT2) for receiving and securing the main panel (12; 112; 212; 312; 412; 512) to a respective article (B). The carrier (90; 190; 390; 490) comprises a side panel (18, 20; 118, 120; 218, 220; 318, 320; 418, 420, 518, 520) hingedly connected to the main panel (12; 112; 212; 312; 412; 512) by a hinged connection. The hinged connection between the main panel (12; 112; 212; 312; 412; 512) and the side panel (18, 20; 118, 120; 218, 220; 318, 320; 418, 420, 518, 520) is defined, at least in part, by a curved or arcuate fold line (13, 15, 17, 19).

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a package, an article carrier for packaging a plurality of articles, and a blank (10) for forming the article carrier. The article carrier comprises a plurality of panels (12,14,16,18,20,22,24) forming a tubular structure for surrounding at least one article. The article carrier comprises an article retention device for engaging a recess of at least one article to prevent or inhibit dislodgement or unintentional egress of the article from at least one of opposite open ends of the tubular structure. The article retention device comprises an engaging tab (40,42) hingedly connected to one of the plurality of panels, which may be a base panel. The point of contact between the engaging tab and an inside surface of a recess in the bottom of the article is farthermost from the adjacent end edge of a respective one of a pair of bottom lap panels.

A cup holder includes a main body having at least one through hole. The cup holder includes a waterdrop resistant layer on the top surface of the main body. The waterdrop resistant layer has at least one waterdrop resistant through hole corresponding to the through hole. The diameter of the waterdrop resistant through hole is smaller than the diameter of the through hole, so that a portion of the waterdrop resistant layer is suspended on a hole wall of the through hole. The length of the portion of the waterdrop resistant layer suspended on the hole wall of the through hole is greater than the thickness of the main body. The waterdrop resistant layer functions to prevent water droplets condensing on a cold drink cup from being absorbed by the cardboard of the cup holder in order to prevent the cardboard from becoming soft and losing strength after absorbing water.

The pack of tissue paper rolls comprises a set of rolls having at least one layer of rolls and having a first base, a second base and a side surface extending from the first base to the second base of the set of rolls. A wrapping sheet completely envelops the set of rolls and a panel, with greater stiffness than the wrapping sheet, surrounds the side surface of the set of rolls and is arranged inside the wrapping sheet, between it and the rolls.

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 including a plurality of side panels and at least one bottom panel foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels, locking features in the at least one bottom panel for at least partially maintaining a formed configuration of the carrier, and a plurality of system engagement features for at least partially receiving a portion of an outer container, each system engagement feature having a plurality of lines of weakening defining a plurality of separably connected sections in the at least one bottom panel.

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.

The invention provides a portable carrier that contains deployable and retractable compartments to place foods and beverages inside. The portable carrier is made with a minimum amount of printable material and glue and requires at most two folds to create the invention, yet allows the ability to print graphics and media for advertising and marketing purposes. Beverage containers are secured with a compartment comprising a beverage compartment base, a beverage compartment wall, and beverage compartment arms. Adjusting flaps are used to help accommodate larger, wider beverages. Food items such as boxes and trays are secured with a compartment comprising a food compartment base, carrier walls, and food compartment supports and arms. A person can deploy and retract these compartments with their hands and fingers. The carrier contains a handle to carry the beverages and foods with one hand.
