Abstract
A binder sleeve to hold a pair of containers together as a unitized package and for supporting the containers above a plane surface includes a tube formed from an endless paperboard strip which can be separated along a central perforated score line into two pieces, each having a linear edge and an opposed undulating edge. The sleeve is placed around a pair of containers, held in face-to-face juxtaposition, to form the unitized package for marketing. Upon disassembly of the package and separation of the sleeve, the linear edge of one of the sleeve halves can be placed on a plane support surface and one of the containers supported in spaced relation above the surface on the undulating edge. This is particularly useful where the container contains a food to be cooked in a microwave oven, as the energy can be evenly distributed about the food in the container.
