Novel space-saving carrier for containers

A carrier for a plurality of narrow-neck, tapered containers is formed from a carrier blank comprises of a single sheet which is folded to define a rectangular tubular configuration, the dimensions of the carrier being such that it does not increase the volume occupied by the containers which it supports and such that the major portion of each container is exposed to view and so that the main body portion is substantially completely exposed to view. The carrier blank is provided with openings, each of which lockingly receive the neck of a container, the containers and the carrier cooperating with one another to retain the containers in the locked position relative to the carrier and the carrier being maintained in its fully erected condition. The dimensions and locations of the openings provided in the carton blank serve to releasably lock the carrier and containers to one another and further prevent the containers, when arranged in side-by-side pairs, from swinging freely, especially when being transported. The carrier is further provided with convenient finger grips to facilitate carrying and handling thereof. The carrier is characterized by its ease of assembly and ease of container insertion.
