Abstract
The handle reinforcing portion of a combined divider and handle reinforcing insert for a paperboard carton is formed with a three-ply thickness. The blank from which the divider is formed has first and second divider panels and first and second handle panels. A first handle reinforcing sub-panel is severed from the first divider panel and extends longitudinally inwardly from a first end edge of the first divider panel and is hingedly connected to the lower edge of the first handle panel along a hinge line. A second handle reinforcing sub-panel is hingedly attached to the second edge of one of the first or second handle panels and extends longitudinally therefrom. The first and second sub-panels are located between the first and second handle panels and having a combined surface area substantially matching that of the first handle panel to provide a third ply of thickness between the first and second handle panels when they are secured to one another.
