ABSTRACT:
A case for unsupported-base multipacks of bottles has an outer wall, a base grid comprising a plurality of interconnected ribs, and partitioning to divide the case into a plurality of multipack receptacles. Each multipack receptacle has a generally hollow supporting pillar projecting from the base grid of the receptacle. The supporting pillar can fit within a space between four bottles of a multipack placed within the receptacle and urge against a side portion of each of the bottles to stabilize the multipack. Empty cases of the invention can nest one on top of the other with each supporting pillar of a lower case extending into the hollow interior of a corresponding supporting pillar of the next higher case. A case rest surface of the base grid of the case has plurality of indentations in it which define closure-locating dimples. Cases of the invention loaded with multipacks of bottles can be arranged in multilayered stacked and cross-stacked structures with the closures of bottles of lower cases being located within the closure-locating dimples of cases immediately above.
