A multi-package carrier device (15) has a strip of a relatively high coefficient of friction material (20) along an inner portion it. A high coefficient of friction, "tactile," material (20) is applied to a band (25) encircling aperture (17) style multi-package carrier device (15) made from a relatively low coefficient of friction thermoplastic base material sheet (22). The strip of the tactile material (20) is applied along one side of the base material (22) of the multi-package carrier. The base material (22) carrying the tactile material (20) is then cut into multi-package carriers (15) such that the tactile material (20) traverses a centre portion of a container contacting surface of the multi-package carrier (15). The multi-package carrier (15) is applied to a plurality of containers (12). After the multi-package carrier is applied to the containers (12), the tactile material (20) between the rows of containers (12) is in close contact with an upper portion of the container sidewall (13). The high coefficient of friction tactile material (20) resists movement of the containers with respect to the carrier (15). <IMAGE> |
