ABSTRACT:
In a novel, unitized package having an upper tier and a lower tier, each tier comprises substantially identical containers, such as beverage cans of a type having a chime at an upper end, arranged in a substantially rectangular array, and a carrier made from a single sheet of resilient polymeric material, such as low density polyethylene. A covering sheet and a second covering or dividing sheet are employed, each being made from a paperboard material. The covering sheet is folded so as to form a cover panel, which covers the upper ends of the containers of the upper tier, and two lateral panels, which extend downwardly from the cover panel, along and below the containers of the upper tier, and along the containers of the lower tier. The cover panel of the covering sheet has slots for receiving portions of the chimes of the containers of the upper tier. The dividing sheet is folded so as to form a divider panel, which covers the upper ends of the containers of the lower tier, and two lateral flaps, which extend downwardly between the lateral panels of the covering sheet and the containers of the lower tier. The divider panel of the dividing sheet may have slots like those of the cover panel of the covering sheet. The lateral panels of the covering sheet are affixed adhesively to the carriers of the respective tiers and to the lateral flaps of the dividing sheet.
