Abstract
A bottle carrier is formed from a unitary paperboard blank, the carrier having a handle which is vertically disposed when manually carried and which is folded to or near a horizontal latched position for stacking and packing of multiple carriers. The handle has a finger receiving recess and a free, outer edge. The free edge is provided with curved recesses which releasably latch beneath the top caps or closures of the bottles. In its latched position, the handle does not inhibit stacking of the carriers. The construction requires less handle material than known carriers of its type.
