Abstract
A package for a plurality of containers having retained pull-tab openers. The package comprises a primary package for handling such containers when in the full condition, as well as a secondary package permitting users of the containers to repackage them when empty. A flat sheet member is secured by tabs which lock over an array of containers which have been packaged utilizing a thermoplastic-type packaging device. The flat sheet member includes tabs which lock the member to finger holes in the thermoplastic device. This sheet member further includes particularly designed slots, equal in number to the number of containers packaged, which lock the retained tabs in the sheet for efficient handling and return of empty containers.
