<p>A package (10) for substantially identical bottles (12) arranged in two longitudinal rows is divided longitudinally by an imaginary plane. A carrier (14) made from a sheet of resilient polymeric material so as to have two longitudinal rows of bottle-receiving apertures (30), and so as to have a longitudinal row (40) of slots between the aperture rows, is applied to the side walls (24) of the bottles (12). A handle (16) is folded from a sheet of paperboard material so as to define two handle portions. Each handle portion has a longitudinal row of tabs (54), each being one of a pair of tabs extending downwardly through one of the slots (40) in the carrier (14). Each tab (54) has a lower portion (60), which is longer than the slot (40) for such tab, and a neck portion (62, Fig. 3), which is shorter. The carrier (14) is stretchable so as to permit the lower portions (60) of the tabs (54) to pass through the slots (40). The handle (16) extends upwardly from the carrier (14), between neck portions (22) of the respective bottles (12), and is slotted (70) so as to provide a hand grip (80). The handle (16) defines generally vertical, expansive surfaces suitable for pricing, bar-coding, or other labelling of the package.</p> |
