Abstract
This relates to a carrier for cups or containers. The carrier is formed from a flat sheet of plastic material and has a pair of openings therein on opposite sides of a transverse bar for receiving upper intermediate portions of cups. Each of the openings is defined by a peripheral strap which will tightly engage an intermediate upper portion of a vertically tapered cup. Further, generally surrounding at least one of the openings is a carrying strap defined by a C-shaped cut which also defines the article engaging strap for that opening. In one form of carrier there are two carrying straps and in another form there is a single carrying strap.
