ABSTRACT:
For packaging groups of articles whose exterior dimensions may vary somewhat, an article carrier of the wraparound type comprises a blank of generally rectangular configuration having lap panels at its ends which may be overlapped and secured together in flat face contacting relation in alternate relative positions of long and short overlaps to form tubular structures of different girths respectively wherein at least one combination locking and retaining tab is struck from each of the lap panels and defining a locking edge in each lap panel which is disposed at the swing end of the associated combination tab, one of the combination tabs being longer from its base to its swing end than the corresponding dimension of the other combination tab so that locking movement of the one combination tab from an outer overlapping position of the associated lap panel through the aperture defined by the other of the combination tabs causes the base of the one combination tab to engage the locking edge defined by the other combination tab to establish a predetermined girth for the carrier and to establish a different girth when the lap panels are interchanged with the other combination tab serving as a loading tab.
