ABSTRACT:
A wrap-around carrier suitable for packaging tub-shaped articles which have recessed bottom portions. The bottom panel is formed from an inner flap to which article retainer flaps are hinged and an outer flap to which secondary locking tabs are hinged. The retainer flaps are pivoted into the interior of the carrier by the locking tabs and include edges which contact the bottom portions of adjacent articles and also foldable retainer tabs which also contact the bottom portions. A projection on the locking tabs extends through an opening in the retainer flap and the end edge of the locking tab supports the retainer flap. A further opening in the retainer flap receives a locking tab shoulder to prevent withdrawal of the locking tab. A slit in the inner bottom panel flap allows passage of another locking tab shoulder which engages the inner bottom panel flap to further prevent withdrawal. In addition, stepped dividers extend inwardly on opposite sides of the articles to prevent movement of the articles during formation of the carrier.
