<p>A wrap-around carrier (12) for packaging articles such as beverage bottles or cans (B). Inwardly folded retaining flaps (34) are connected to the side edges of apertures through which the lower portions of the articles protrude. The fold lines of the flaps are arranged to create a bias tending to maintain pressure on the articles to prevent movement within the carrier. The flaps (34) are connected by fold lines (74, 76) to the side panels (24) and to the bottom panel (52), but are unconnected (78) to heel panels (26) extending between the side and bottom panels. The flaps adjacent the heel panel portions of the aperture edge act as a shop, preventing tearing of the aperture. Additionally, the fold lines (46, 48) connecting the heel panels (26) to the side (24) and bottom panels (52) are half-score lines.</p> |
