Abstract
Abstract The beverage container carrier has a central panel formed of double thickness cardboard attached together for the height of the beverage container. Above the beverage container, the separate walls of the central panel fold outward to cover the tops of the beverage container. At the bottom of the central panel, the walls fold out to form the bottom and outside of pockets which receive the beverage containers. Two identical blanks can form the beverage container carrier.
