A paperboard carton is disclosed that has a base with first and second top panels. The first top panel incorporates a pair of spaced slots and secondary end panels hingedly connected to opposite side edges. The secondary end panels are folded against and adhesively secured to the first top panel. The second top panel is folded over and adhered to the secondary end panels to provide reinforcement for the top while enabling access to a handle formed in the first top panel.

Handle arrangment for a carton

According to the present invention, there is provided a paperboard carton having end wall handles. In further detail, the paperboard carton has a base panel, a top panel, two oppositely disposed side panels and two oppositely disposed end walls, each end wall comprising a portion of multiple thickness in which portion there is a handle opening.

Containers for articles

Bottle carrying arrangement

Locking paperboard sleeve

A paperboard carrier device for holding a plurality of article containers, each article container having an annular rim formed along an upper peripheral edge extending perpendicularly with respect to an article container sidewall, is disclosed. The carrier device includes a top panel (11) having a plurality of spaced article engaging apertures (12) defined therein and extending therethrough. Each aperture is dimensioned to be less than the rim diameter of the article containers, and has a continuous marginal portion (31) sized and shaped to elastically deform as it is passed over the annular rim of one of the article containers and is received on the sidewall of the article container and engaged in a snap fit beneath the annular rim thereof. A pair of spaced and opposed web panels (41, 42) are hingedly connected to a pair of spaced side edges at the top panel along a first pair of hinge lines (43, 44), and are constructed and arranged to be folded upwardly along each of the hinge lines toward the upper peripheral edges of the article containers. A main overpanel (45) is hingedly connected to one of the web panels along one of a second pair of spaced and opposed hinge lines (46, 48), and is constructed and arranged to be folded along one of the second hinge lines over onto and across the annular rims of the article containers. A secondary overpanel (47) is hingedly connected to the other one of the second hinge lines, and is constructed and arranged to be folded along the hinge line into engagement with at least a portion of the main overpanel and to be fastened thereto so that the carrier device encloses the tops of the article containers (35).
