An improved single piece plastic carrier for a plurality of filled and capped bottles in which the neck of each bottle to be carried by the carrier is received in an aperture in the top panel of the carrier and is supported by spaced apart tabs which extend radially inwardly from the aperture. Each such tab has a substantially greater arcuate extent than the tabs utilized in prior art carriers, and each such tab, therefore, is substantially less yieldable than such prior art tabs. The substantially reduced tab yieldability is particularly advantageous when the carrier is used in conjunction with bottles that are capped with tamper-indicating molded plastic closures, especially closures with a tamper-indicating band of the heat shrinkable type, because it will help to prevent the tab from being deflected upwardly under the tamper-indicating band, which could lead to the fracture of the band prior to any attempt to open the band. The invention can be used to advantage in the packaging of single service carbonated beverage bottles which are capped with 28 mm closures of the aforesaid type, and six-bottle and four-bottle versions of such a carrier are described.
