Abstract
A carrier for one or more stackable articles formed from a paperboard blank of generally rectangular configuration. The blank is folded about a score line intermediate its short ends so that adjacent regions are divergent at an angle. A pair of aligned slots in each adjacent region serve as a hand-hold. The blank further has confronting side panels extending downwardly from the adjacent, divergent regions, and panel portions cut from the side panels are folded toward one another along score lines adjacent free ends of the blank in formation of openings in the side panels, and are fastened to one another in provision of a bottom for the carrier. An article may be carried singly, or several stacked upon one another while supported on the bottom and projecting through, and retained within blank portions that define, the side-panel openings.
