Abstract
A sleeve-type beverage can carrier having a transversely arranged handle opening in the top panel. The opening is covered by flaps foldably connected to the top panel along the transversely extending elongated edges of the handle opening, each flap being formed of individual tabs which facilitate the folding down of the flap by the fingers of a user. The elongated edges are tapered so that they are the most widely spaced apart midway along their length and the closest together near their ends. This arrangement causes the top panel on both sides of the handle opening to bow upwardly when the carrier is lifted to distribute the lifting stresses through the top panel and the upper portions of the side panels.
