A carrier for a plurality of bottles having enlarged cap portions and arranged in two rows. The carrier is made from a resilient deformable plastic sheet material and preferably as two flat blanks with the blanks placed one on the other and joined along a central bight portion. The joined blanks are folded and mechanically locked into two integral side-by-side prism-like members in which the end faces are triangles by simple tabs and tab receiving apertures provided on the blanks. An integral hand assembly is formed in the upper blank and serves to provide a convenient carrying handle for the carrier and plurality of bottles secured in the carrier. Aligned apertures through the base and apex of each of the prism-like members of the carrier provide an interlocking relationship of the carrier with the bottles such that the side walls of the prism-like members of the carrier are resiliently bowed outwardly to project opposed marginal edges of the apertures in the apex of the prism-like members of the carrier firmly against the underside of the cap portion enlargements of the bottles and with the marginal edges of the apertures in the base of the prism-like members of the carrier being firmly circumferentially urged downwardly against the diverging neck portions of the bottles. The bottle gripping apertures in the apex of each of the prism-like members of the carrier are defined between straight-edged segments at one marginal edge of the lower blank and the inner marginal edges of apertures in an overlapped section of a side portion of the upper blank. The tabs which extend from the opposite marginal edges of the overlapped sections of the upper blank and engage tab receiving apertures in the outer walls of the prism-like members of the carrier may be simply pulled from those apertures and the apertures of the overlapped sections, which are larger than the enlarged cap portions of the bottles, may then be raised over and above the enlarged cap portions of the bottles to permit the carrier to be easily lifted from the bottles. The carrier may be reused by interlocking the tabs in the tab receiving apertures to again form the prism-like members and by projecting the carrier downwardly over the bottles until the apex apertures snap below the enlarged cap portions of the bottles.
