Abstract
Abstract A wraparound carrier formed from a unitary paperboard blank and particularly adapted for the transport of large glass bottles, the carrier consisting of a bottom panel and side panels extending upward therefrom and inclined toward each other to conform generally to the neck portions of the bottles, the side panels being joined by a narrow panel overlying the tops of said bottles, the narrow panel being scored and slit between the ends thereof to provide a pair of finger holes on each side of an intermediate of such necked bottles and to provide confronting gusset folds to reinforce the carrier in the area of said finger holes and to stabilize said intermediate bottles. Desirably, the ends of the narrow and side panels may be scored to define end gusset folds extending toward the endmost of the bottles to hold them against endwise displacement.
