ABSTRACT:
A novel carrier for carrying a group of items, such as cans, bottles or the like which hold beverages, foods or the like, is made of a plastic material having an opaque strip of material printed on a surface of the carrier. The opaque strip can be a solid, opaque line or a series of opaque dots. Each item includes an individual machine readable bar code thereon which is at least partially covered by the opaque strip. The package has a machine readable bar code thereon which is not covered by the opaque strip on the carrier. The opaque strip prevents the individual bar codes on the items from being read by a typical bar code reader beam. The bar code on the package can be read since it is not covered by the opaque strip.
