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 combined gift card holder and bottle carrier topper includes a main panel having two oblong elements separated by an elongate channel and a gift card sleeve attached to the main panel. The main panel is inserted onto a bottle carrier by placing a portion of the bottle carrier into the channel. The gift card sleeve is then located outside the bottle carrier and a portion of the bottle carrier topper is located inside the bottle carrier.

A basket-type carrier formed from a single blank (1) of foldable sheet material. The carrier (4) comprises a pair of handle panels (10, 60), a pair of bottom panels (20, 70), a pair of bottom reinforcement panels (15, 65), a front panel (30), a back panel (80), side panels (31, 32, 33, 34, 81, 82, 83, 84), side reinforcement panels (21, 22, 71, 72), side flaps (35, 36, 85, 86), interior partition panels (37, 38, 87, 88), and interior partition attachment flaps (39, 89). The carrier is collapsed and expanded by means of an umbrella-type mechanism wherein side flaps (35, 36, 85, 86) connected to side panels (32, 34, 82, 84) and to interior partition panels (37, 87) slide up and down between the handle panels (10, 60). This positions front, back, side, and bottom panels in either the collapsed position with these panels folded against the handle panels, flattening the carrier for storage, or in the expanded position with these panels pulled away from the handle panels, expanding the carrier to receive articles.

A carrier (190, 90) comprising a plurality of main panels (18, 20, 22, 24, 26) forming outer walls and defining an interior chamber, the plurality of main panels comprise a first side panel (20, 120), a second side panel (24, 124), first end panel (18, 118), second end panel (64, 164), third end panel (70, 170) and fourth end panel (82, 182). The first and fourth end panels form a composite end wall of the carrier. The second and third end walls form a second composite end wall of the carrier. The second end wall is hingedly connected to the third end wall by a first fold line (21, 121). The interior chamber is divided into two or more cells by a partition structure. The partition structure comprises a first handle panel (14, 114) hingedly connected along a first side edge to an end panel.

A method of forming packaging accommodates one or more products and packaging produced by the method. The method includes providing a planar packaging blank of foldable material and assembling it into packaging capable of accommodating at least one product. A flexible electronics module on the packaging blank has at least one temperature measurement device and a temperature display to measure and display the temperature of at least one of the products. The positioning of the flexible electronics module with respect to the packaging permits both to be folded together to form the assembled packaging. The packaging is foldable from a first unassembled state to a second assembled state to accommodate at least one product, and the electronics module is at least partly flexible to enable it to be folded with the packaging. The packaging may hold six beverage containers and might be considered to be a six pack.

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.

A carrier for holding a plurality of containers includes a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior of the carrier and including a front panel, a back panel, at least one side panel, and a central panel extending from the front panel to the back panel. The central panel includes a reconfigurable lower portion that is positionable between respective bottom portions of adjacent containers of the plurality of containers. The carrier also includes a plurality of end flaps foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels, the plurality of end flaps are at least partially overlapped to form a closed bottom of the carrier.

A carrier for holding a plurality of containers includes a plurality of panels at least partially extending around an interior space of the carrier, at least one curved corner, and at least one curved divider flap. The plurality of panels includes a front panel, a back panel, at least one side panel, and at least one bottom panel. The at least one curved divider flap extends from the at least one central panel to one of the front panel and the back panel in the interior space of the carrier.

A carrier for holding at least one container includes a plurality of panels extending at least partially around an interior space of the carrier and including a front panel, a back panel, at least one side panel, a first bottom panel, a second bottom panel, and at least one central panel. At least one divider flap extends from the at least one central panel to at least one of the front panel and the back panel. The first bottom panel includes at least one male locking feature and the second bottom panel includes at least one female locking feature for receiving the at least one male locking feature. The at least one male locking feature engages the at least one divider flap to lock the at least one divider flap in a generally perpendicular position relative to the central panel.

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.
