<p>Carrier stock (16) formed from a single sheet of resilient polymeric material, such as low density polyethylene, for machine application to substantially identical containers (10). The stock (16) is severable to form individual carriers with three longitudinal rows of container-receiving apertures (18), as defined by band segments (30,32,34,38), which include cross segments (34,38) formed with tear-open tabs (22). The cross segments (34,38) formed with such tabs (22) are slitted (60,62,64) so as to define a series of frangible bridges (70,72,74), which are staggered transversely, and which can be easily torn by a user pulling on such tabs (22). Also, a distal portion (44) of each tab (22) is connected to another band segment by a frangible web (46), which is slitted (48). <IMAGE></p> |
