ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a can carrier for forming into a package and carrying one or more cans, normally six cans to form a six-pack. The can carrier is primarily formed of a sheet of readly foldable and deformable material including paperboard. For each can, the sheet is provided with a pair of cutouts defining foldable flaps. The flaps are foldable beneath the sheet with each pair of flaps being remote from one another. The result is that the connection between each flap and the sheet provides two layers of materials which are engagable beneath a can chime to interlock the can with the can carrier. The folded connection between each flap and the sheet may be reinforced by stretchable self shrinking glue disposed generally in the apex of the connection between each flap and the under side of the sheet. Another form of flap reinforcement is the bonding of a synthetic thread to the under side of the sheet and the flaps with the thread extending longitudinally of the sheets and the flaps. The thread may be utilized with or without the glue. Finally, the upper surface of the sheet around the cutout may be provided with a layer of water resistant material so as to resist the absorption of water into the sheet surrounding each cutout. If desired, a central portion of the sheet may be provided with a pair of cutouts for defining flaps which may be pressed down between adjacent cans to define finger receiving openings for carrying the can package.
