Container package with spoons

A carton divider formed from an elongated unitary blank which is formed with a plurality of fold lines which extend from its upper edge toward its lower edge in a spaced relationship. The fold lines serve to divide the blank into first, transverse divider panels, a first side wall panel, a second transverse divider panel, a second side wall panel, a third transverse divider panel and a central handle panel. The blank being cut to form a second handle panel and a first glue flap which extends downwardly from the upper edge. The second handle panel has one edge hingedly connected to the second divider panel along one of the fold lines. The second handle panel has a length which matches that of the first handle panel. The first glue flap is hingedly connected to the second handle panel along one of the fold lines. The blank is cut to form a third handle panel and a second glue flap which extends downwardly from the upper edge. The third handle panel has one edge hingedly connected to the central handle panel. The third handle panel has a length which matches that of the first handle panel. The second glue flap is hingedly connected to the third handle panel along a further fold line. The first and third transverse divider panels have a length which is equal to half that of the second divider panel. An adhesive coating is applied to the outer face of the blank in the area of the first handle panel and on the inner face of the blank in the second handle panel, first glue flap, third handle panel and second glue flap, such that when the divider is assembled by folding the blank, it will form two enclosures arranged one on either side of the handle panels.
