ABSTRACT:
A sleeve-type beverage can carrier having an elongated handle opening in the top panel extending transversely of the length of the carrier. The handle opening is covered by a tab connected to the top panel of the carrier at a fold line extending along one of the elongated handle opening edges so that a user's fingers will fold down the tab. The tab also has an intermediate fold line parallel to its main fold line, enabling the tab to fold upon itself when it contacts a can while being folded down by the user. Slits extending from the ends of the handle opening into the upper portions of the side panels allow the top panel and side panels to flex sufficiently to permit the carrier to be lifted by the handle opening. Score lines in the upper portions of the side panels provide relief from lifting stresses. Additional score lines in the upper panel also provide stress relief. In another embodiment, the tab covering the handle opening is designed to fall to the interior of the package when the tab is pressed hard or to fold down about an edge when pressed gently.
