BEVERAGE BASKET CARRIER CONSTRUCTING METHOD

摘要

The beverage basket carrier of the invention is constructed of two separate blanks, a primary blank (28) including the printed surfaces of the carrier and a secondary blank (30) including the internal divider walls forming the bottle receiving cells. The blanks are designed so as to be tipped together in a straight line gluer for substantially increased production rates. The secondary blank may be formed of a different and more economical substrate than that required for the primary blank. The reduced size primary blanks enable an increased number to be arranged across a sheet or printing cylinder to increase the yield of the printing process. The resulting assembled carrier is similar to conventional carriers and suited for use by bottle fillers without altering their equipment.
