A reinforced planar carrier is provided which can carry, for example, four 2 - liter bottles, without significantly bending. The carrier is made from a one piece paperboard blank having a machine direction. It has a center line, a pair of side edges , and a pair of end edges. The carrier includes a top ply and a bottom ply joined together along a hinge line which extends generally perpendicularly to the machine direction of the paperboard and defines one of said carrier's end edges. Finger holes are formed on opposite sides of the carrier centerline, approximately midway between the end edges of the carrier. The finger holes are positioned such that the carrier is lifted at points near t he load. The finger holes are elongate. A tab from the top ply finger hole extends throug h the bottom ply finger hole when the carrier is lifted to define a rib extending general ly parallel to the machine direction of the paperboard. Additionally, the carrier includes side flaps and an end flap which are hingedly connected to one of the top and bottom plies; an d adhered to the other of the top and bottom plies.
