Abstract
A cup and lid holder has two parts: a bottom part holds two stacks of insulated paper cups and a top part holds two stacks of mating lids. The holder is folded from a flat blank. The blank is one piece and folds into a two-level structure with three horizontal parts: a bottom, a partition to separate the lids from the cups, and a top. The bottom has two fold-up tabs that fit into the bottoms of the bottom cup of each stack to hold them in place. The top comprises two rings that fit around the turrets of the top lid of each stack to hold them in place. The middle partition rests against the tops of the top cup in each stack to hold the stack in position. The middle partition is formed of two sets of two tabs each that interfit and extend from the tops of the front and bottom walls. Two stacks of lids are loaded into the top part and two stacks of cups are loaded into the bottom part. The holder with the loaded lids and cups is shrink-wrapped and printed. The lids can be removed individually by lifting a top ring and pulling a lid out. Similarly the cups can be removed individually by tilting out the stack of cups and removing the top one. The holder can be made to hold one, rather than two stacks of cups and lids.
