Abstract
A single piece carrier of the wrap around style is comprised of a plurality of hinged walls that can be wrapped about a plurality of articles such as flats of eggs. The carrier is erected by encircling the articles and at the top of the carrier a hand hold is formed by inserting the hand hold portion through a slot in the top wall. A locking flap is located along one side of the overlying top wall which is then inserted into a corresponding slot in the other top wall portion and locked in place. A locking tab is then forced inwardly through an aperture within the locking flap and when the tab is in the interior it serves as a locking abutment member holding the articles securely in place. An additional locking means consisting of inwardly extending flaps serves to prevent product slideout.
