Abstract
A carrier tray for deformable beverage containers prevents doming of the underside of beverage cans and abrasion of adjacent cans during transport. The base of the carrier includes upwardly projecting members (62, 63) which are taped to conform to the shape of the underside of the containers. An additional feature of the upwardly projecting members is the retention of the cans in a vertical position.
