CARRIER STOCK WITH TEAR OPEN TABS Carrier stock formed from a single sheet of resilient polymeric material, such as low density polyethylene, for machine application to substantially identical containers. The stock is severable to form individual carriers with three longitudinal rows of container-receiving apertures, as defined by integrally joined band segments, which include generally longitudinal outer band segments and generally diagonal inner band segments. One of the band segments defining each container-receiving aperture has a tear-open tab. The band segments having tear-open tabs include a specified subgroup of the diagonal inner segments and either the longitudinal outer segments, in a first embodiment, or an additional subgroup of the diagonal inner segments, in a second embodiment. Each band segment having a tear-open tab has slits to facilitate tearing of such band segment when the tear-open tab is pulled.
