ABSTRACT:
A cover for tops of flanged containers held in planar paperboard carriers excludes contamination from surfaces which will contact the contents when they are poured out or a consumer's mouth will contact. The cover is formed from multilaterally-stretchable paper and is applied to the carrier in two different ways to create two versions of the embodiment of the invention. In Version I, a sheet of multilaterally-stretchable paper overlies the planar carrier body and is attached to the carrier at the periphery of the cover and elsewhere as required by the configuration of the carrier. When containers are inserted in the carrier, they raise small tents by stretching the paper cover and the container tops lie protected between the carrier body and the cover sheet. In Version II, a sheet of multilaterally-stretchable paper underlies the planar carrier body and is attached to the carrier where required by the configuration of the carrier. When containers are inserted in the carrier, the container tops are enveloped by the cover, which is held in place by the container-retention means of the carrier.
