<p>A strap style cellular carrier for bottled beverages, or like articles, which is formed from an elongate paperboard blank and a method of fabricating the same in collapsed condition which is characterized by cutting the blanks from a continuous web of stock material, which may be printed on the outside face, with the blanks extending lengthwise in the long direction of the web and nested laterally so that continuous lines of heat activatable adhesive may be applied to the inside faces of the blanks which adhesive lines will traverse nested handle and center partition forming panels extending from the top forming side wall margin at one side of adjoining blanks and nested bottom forming panels extending from the bottom forming side wall margins at the opposite sides of the blanks, thereafter activating the adhesive only on the areas of the handle and partition forming panels which are to be adhered to each other and finally folding the blanks while they are advanced in a continuous stream without the need for timing or indexing the individual blanks thereby enabling continuous high speed travel of the carriers during fabrication and high volume production with minimum material.</p> |
