Each section includes a continuous peripheral rib which delimits an opening to receive a container. The rib comprises an outer flange and an inner flange which are interconnected along corresponding upper edges. The flanges depend divergently from the interconnected upper edges. Each rib is provided with a plurality of relatively spaced shoulders extending into the rib inner flange and forming same into a plurality of flange segements arranged in an endwise circumferentially spaced relation. Each shoulder includes a top portion extending inwardly from the interconnected flange upper edges. Depending from the top portion are opposed side portions, the latter interconnecting the top portion with corresponding ends of adjacent flange segments. A plurality of rib extensions are provided; each of which interconnects portions of the rib outer flanges of adjacent container-accommodating sections and coacts therewith to form a continuous peripheral rim which encompasses all of the container-accommodating sections.
