An improved paperboard beverage carrier is disclosed having an improved lift handle. The improved lift handle comprises a laterally extending elongated handle opening within the top panel of the carrier.

Predetermined perforated tear lines are further provided extending from the lateral ends of the handle opening and terminating at the encircling score line.
