Abstract
A clip-type carrier (10) has a top wall which includes an inner (20) and an outer (40) panel that overlap at respective lap portions (22, 42). The inner panel (20) has an inner article-receiving aperture (24) for each flanged article (1) to be received. The inner article-receiving aperture (24) has radial cuts (26) that form gripping tabs (28) whose unattached inner edges define an inner aperture circumference and associated inner aperture diameter (D.sub.11). Each gripping tab (28) terminates at the inner panel to form a second circumference (C.sub.12) and associated second diameter (D.sub.12). The second circumference (C.sub.12) and diameter (D.sub.12) are greater than the inner circumference and diameter (D.sub.11). The lap portion (42) of the outer panel (40) has an outer article-receiving aperture (44) corresponding to and in concentric alignment with each inner article-receiving aperture (24). The outer article-receiving aperture (44) has a circumference and associated diameter (D.sub.0) that are greater than those of the inner aperture and less than the respective second circumference (C.sub.12) and diameter (D.sub.12). The carrier (10) may have securement such as adhesive (34), punch-type locks (36, 38) or locking tabs (49) in the outer panel (40) for securing the inner (22) and outer (42) lap portions to one another.
