ABSTRACT:
A paperboard container carrier having a base, a handle extending from and integral with the base, and a shroud having an opening to accommodate the handle. The base supports a plurality of containers which are separated between rows of the containers by the handle. The base preferably has an integrally formed, upwardly extending, base sidewall that extends around a periphery of the base and retains the containers. When the carrier package is assembled, the containers are retained between the base, the shroud and the sidewall. The handle extends between the containers and through the opening in the shroud. The shroud may have a downwardly extending shroud sidewall that extends about a periphery of the shroud thus unitizing a top portion of the containers. The shroud may have at least one aperture that accommodates an upper portion of any one or more of the containers. Additionally, at least one divider may be positioned between the base and the shroud thus creating at least one additional layer of containers within the package. Like the shroud, the divider has an opening to accommodate the handle through the divider.
