Abstract
A wraparound type carrier package for a group of bottles arranged in row relation and transversely aligned pairs, which carrier is especially adapted for use in marketing of bottled products, and which permits removal of the bottles without damaging the carrier and ready return of empty bottles therein so as to encourage return to the store or bottling plant for reuse or recycling, which is characterized by being formed from a flat blank of paper-board or similar foldable sheet material which is cut and scored so that it may be wrapped about the top and bottom of the bottles, with end margins of the end panels thereof being secured to each other, and with means to restrain endwise movement of the bottles out of the ends of the carrier while permitting ready removal of the bottles through apertures formed in the top wall, also having finger accommodating apertures in the top wall for carrying the package which are reinforced by underlying panels cut from material in the top wall and sidewalls in providing the bottle removing apertures and hinged into engagement with the inside face of the top wall in the area surrounding the finger accommodating apertures.
