Abstract
Multipackages, packaging elements, and the method for making the multipackages wherein the containers of the multipackages are primarily containers having a generally cylindrical shape such as commonly used beverage bottles and cans and wherein the containers are arranged in the well known six or eight pack configurations. The package making elements are a pair of circumferentially continuous bands made from elastic plastic film materials capable of being highly stretched below the elastic limits thereof. The bands are applied in a highly tensioned condition, as opposed to known shrink film arrangements, about the group of containers with the axis of one band disposed vertically and with the axis of the other band disposed horizontally and longitudinally of the group to make a stable package capable of being carried by a person grasping the upper portion of the band arranged with its axis disposed horizontally.
