Abstract
A wrap-around article carrier with a handle portion bounded by spaced slits extending across the width of the top panel. The fingers and thumb are intended to be inserted beneath the slits. Upon lifting the carrier, the handle portion adjacent the slits folds upwardly about a score line in the handle portion, directing the stresses caused by the lifting force outwardly to the side panels. This arrangement makes it more convenient to lift the carrier and strengthens the handle portion.
