A combined wrap around carton, bottle and pouf. The package permits display of the bottle and a pouf simultaneously. The bottle is sufficiently rigid to form a portion of the support of the package. The carton includes a central panel having two ends and product receiving structures at each of its ends. In the erected carton, a first product is received within two product receiving apertures and a second product is placed behind the first one. The package is completed with shrink wrap so that the consumer can view the contents of the package.

Wrap around carton

An L-Card for accommodating stacks of articles such as soap bars. The L-Card includes a compartment for receiving promotional items which may be sold with the stacked articles. The rear face of one of the panels forming the compartment advantageously constitutes part of the L-shaped area housing the soap bars.

L-card

A carrier for multiple packages. The carrier is particularly suitable for packages containing household products such as detergent bottles or cartons. The carrier includes dividing walls which in two embodiments are hinged together at the top. The dividing walls may also be hinged together at the sides. The carrier provides side walls and a bottom to hold the package in place. The carrier does not require shrink wrap.
