Abstract
An improved tab separator element interposes label bearing glass bottles in a paperboard carrier carton. An arcuately shaped fold line not only flares outwardly the front portion of the tab to provide a wider aperture facilitating insertion of the bottle into the carton, but also increases tab resiliency which aids in holding packaged bottles firmly in place within the carton. Leading edges of the tab are rounded and angled to decrease the possibility of tearing or disfiguring paper labels.
