<p>WRAPAROUND ARTICLE CARRIER WITH ADJUSTABLE GIRTH For packaging groups of articles whose exterior dimensions may vary somewhat, an article carrier of the wraparound type comprises a blank of generally rectangular configuration having lap panels at its ends which may be overlapped and secured together in flat face contacting relation in alternate relative positions of long and short overlaps to form tubular structures of different girths respectively wherein at least one pair of tightening apertures formed respectively in said lap panels for receiving machine tightening elements operable to impart tightening action to said blank when disposed about a group of articles, said one pair of tightening apertures being spaced a predetermined distance from one longitudinal edge of said blank, and a second pair of tightening apertures formed respectively in said lap panels for receiving machine tightening elements operable to impart tightening action to said blank when disposed about a group of articles, said second pair of tightening apertures being spaced said predetermined distance from the longitudinal edge of said blank which is opposite from said one longitudinal edge thereby to adapt the carrier blank for transverse orientation in different positions relative to the associated group of articles and the spacing between the apertures of each pair of tightening apertures being different in a direction longitudinally of the blank.</p> |
