ABSTRACT:
A bottle carrier for carrying a plurality of bottles having a body portion and a neck portion and a closure which is attached to the neck of the bottle which comprises a generally flat blank formed of a material that is flexible and elastic. The blank comprises a first part defining a central portion and a second part defining a band which is severable from the first part and is adapted to be stretched about a group of bottles. The first part comprises a plurality of openings in spaced rows for receiving the necks of the containers and engaging the necks below the closures. In order to meet the requirements of adequately securing the bottles in the carrier and at the same time, being able to apply the carrier to the bottles rapidly by automatic machines, the carrier includes the following relationships: (1) minimum widths of the webs between the openings for receiving the necks of the bottles and the periphery of the carrier, (2) the stress on the webs must be less than 550 p.s.i., (3) any radii in the band must be at least 7/8" or greater, (4) the average stretch ratio of the band should be about 8% to 14%.
