ABSTRACT:
A novel, unitized package has an upper tier and a lower tier of containers, wherein each tier comprises substantially identical containers, such as beverage cans of a type having a chime at an upper end, in arranged a substantially rectangular array, and a carrier made from a single sheet of resilient polymeric material, such as low density polyethylene. A unitizing sheet made from a paperboard material is folded so as to form a cover panel, which covers the upper ends of the containers of the upper tier, 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, and a divider integral with one of the lateral panels. The cover panel of the covering sheet has slits receiving portions of the chimes of the containers of the upper tier. The divider is folded from the first lateral panel toward the second lateral panel, so as to extend between the lower ends of the containers of the upper tier and the upper ends of the containers of the upper tier. Each lateral panel is attached adhesively to at least one of the band segments of each carrier and the second lateral panel is attached adhesively to a flap folded from the divider so as to unitize the upper and lower tiers.
