Abstract

See full text

An enclosed carrier for beverage bottles. The side and end panels taper inwardly near the top panel to provide a tight enclosure for the bottles. The dust flaps are comprised of upper and lower sections separated from each other in the corner areas of the carrier. The upper dust flap sections may be connected at a point spaced from the separated portions by a strap. Fold lines connecting the strap to the upper dust flap section allow it to be folded about an intermediate fold line in the final carrier package. The top panel may be comprised of two plies, the lower ply including end glue flaps adhered to upper end panel flaps. This eliminates an edge which may tend to snag the tops of bottles being loaded. A working score line is provided in one of the side panels to permit the blank to be folded into a flat collapsed carrier despite the fact that the top panel is narrower than the bottom panel.
