<p>A bottle carrier (12) of the type employing tabs (20) surrounding bottle neck openings (18) to support the underside of bottle flanges. The carrier is comprised of an inner clip member (60) and an outer shroud (14), each having aligned bottle neck openings (18,64) and tabs (20, 66). The outer shroud incorporates side panels (24) which fold around adjacent bottles and are adhered to the inner face of end panels (26). The side panels are moved into place by the pulling action of gusset panels (44) as the gusset panels are folded into position at the inner face of the end panels. The outermost bottle support tabs (20) are of greater height than the innermost tabs (66) to accommodate bowing of the carrier during lifting, and the other tabs have angled edges adapted to contact the bottle flanges when the carrier is lifted. The inner clip member includes short flaps (72) underlying the side and end panels of the outer shroud.</p> |
