The top and base each have a plurality of article receiving apertures (A1-A4:N1-N4) with the apertures in the top disposed in registry with the apertures in the base. At least one retention tab (T1, T2) is provided on at least one (20) of the terminal panels, the retention tab being positioned adjacent one of the apertures (N3, N4) in the base and being engaged therein to extend within the tubular structure so as to maintain the carrier in erected condition when a bottle has been inserted in the base and the flange or cap thereof positioned in the aperture in the top whereby the retention tab is maintained in folded condition by the bottle.
