PILFER-RESISTANT BASKET-STYLE CARRIER.

摘要

A pilfer-resistant basket-style carrier comprising a bottom panel, first and second side panels opposite each other and connected to the bottom panel, and first and second end panels opposite each other and connected to the first and second side panels. A removable roof is connected to and extends from the first side panel to the second side panel. The removable roof includes finger grips for carrying the carrier with the removable panel still connected to the first and second side panels. A handle panel with a handle opening is positioned beneath the removable roof. The handle panel extends between and is connected to the first and second end panels. Partitions extend between the handle panel and the first and second side panels to define cells for containing articles received therein. Openings are formed in the side panels and/or end panels for viewing articles contained in the carrier. The side panels include gripper openings for use with a gripping mechanism of an automatic high-speed machine for pulling the carrier down onto a plurality of articles moving along a high-speed line to fill the carrier with articles. The carrier is sized to create cells in which the articles fit with a slight interference fit.
