Abstract
In a package, substantially identical bottles in a generally rectangular array are combined with a carrier and with a tray. The carrier is made from a single sheet of low density polyethylene so as to have band segments defining bottle-receiving apertures. The carrier is applied to the bottles so that outer band segments of the carrier embrace portions of side walls of the outer bottles in the array. The tray is made from a single sheet of cardboard and is folded so as to define a lower portion, underlying at least a portion of each bottle in the array, and two lateral portions. Each lateral portion is folded upwardly from the lower portion and is affixed adhesively to at least one of the outer band segments of the carrier. Outer surfaces of the lateral portions are suitable for imprinting or labelling.
