In the present invention, there is disclosed an article carrier, particularly of bottles, including a main panel (20, 116) having a pair of opposed end edges (70, 72, 170, 172), a first fold line (32, 134) extending between said end edges (70, 72, 170, 172), and at least one aperture (44, 144) for receiving an article (A). The aperture (44, 144) is disposed astride the first fold line (32, 134) to interrupt it. A first tab (40, 140) being struck from the main panel (20, 116) defines at least a part of the aperture (44, 144). The tab (40, 140) is hingeably connected to the main panel (20, 116) so that the tab (40, 140) is displaceable out of the plane of the main panel (20, 116) to operatively engage a part of the article (A) when the article (A) is in the aperture (44, 144). The tab (40, 140) is connected to the main panel (20, 116) by means of a pair of second and third spaced fold lines (60, 160) and (62, 162) extending divergently from each other toward one of the end edges (70, 72, 170, 172) of the main panel (20, 116) so that displacement of the tab (40, 140) out of the plane of the main panel (20, 116) causes the main panel (20, 116) to be folded about the first fold line (32, 134). The invention is characterized in that a stress relieving cut line (64, 164) is provided to extend between the second and third fold lines (60, 160, 62, 162) to partially separate the tab (40, 140) from the main panel (20, 116) wherein the cut (64, 164) line is disposed transversely of the first fold line (32, 134) such that the first fold line (32, 134) is interrupted at the cut line (64, 164). |
