Zusammenfassung:A carrying tray having a top wall and a plurality of receptacle cavities in the top wall with each cavity being configured to accept a container such as a beverage cup therein and having retaining features for holding the cup upright with a substantial portion of the cup sidewall being retained below the top wall of the tray within the cavity. The retaining features include a plurality of collar tabs that limit tipping of the cups within the cavity particularly during transportation. The carrying tray can be assembled from a flat die-cut blank without the aid of adhesives and fasteners by utilizing a combination of locking tabs and cooperative openings in the sidewalls. The carrying tray along with the cups can be placed in a tamper evident delivery bag for convenient transportation of the beverage cups in a secure tamper resistant manner to a consumer.
