An upwardly opening tray-like carrier carton is disclosed for packaging a plurality of articles having the general form of beverage bottles, which carrier is fabricated from a single blank of foldable sheet material and is cut and scored so as to divide it into integrally connected panels which are adapted to be folded together so as to form, when set-up, a partitioned carton structure comprising a double row of upwardly opening bottle receiving cells disposed on opposite sides of a central bottle separating partition and handle forming panel assembly and being characterized by an upstanding partition wall extending between the rows of cells on each side of the partition and handle forming assembly which is hinged at its opposite ends to pairs of foldable end wall panels so as to enable the cells on each side of said central partition and handle forming panel assembly to be collapsed, when empty, and to be folded into flattened relation against said partition and handle forming assembly. In another form of the carrier disclosed the bottle separating cells are formed with a double thickness of the blank material separating the bottles so as to comply with railway shipping requirements.

An upwardly opening tray-like carrier carton for packaging a plurality of articles having the general form of beverage bottles said carton being formed from a single elongate blank of foldable sheet material which is cut and scored so as to divide it into a series of integrally connected panels which may be folded and secured together to form the carton, said carton comprising a double row of upwardly opening article receiving cells disposed on opposite sides of a central article separating partition and handle forming structure, which central partition and handle structure comprises a pair of full depth panels disposed in back to back relation which are hingedly connected to each other at the top edges thereof and hingedly connected at opposite ends to a reinforcing handle panel and a handle cover panel, said handle reinforcing and cover panels being folded down along said top edge and secured to the opposite outer faces of the handle forming top portions of said pair of full depth panels, said central partition and handle structure being hingedly connected at its opposite ends to vertical edges of a pair of hingedly connected foldable end wall forming panels each of which constitutes the inboard one of a pair of end wall forming panels at the end of each double row of article receiving cells, the outermost vertical edge of the outboard one of said end wall forming panels at the ends of said cells being hinged to the end edge of a vertical sidewall forming panel, each said sidewall panel being hingedly connected to the outboard edge of a foldable bottom wall panel which has its opposite edge hingedly connected to the bottom edge of said central partition and handle structure and the cells in each of said double row of cells being defined in part by an upstanding partition wall which extends between the rows and which is hinged at its opposite ends to adjoining vertical edges of said pairs of end wall forming panels at the ends of said cells so as to enable the cells on each side of said central partition and separating wall structure to be collapsed when empty and to be folded into flattened relation against said central separating partition and handle forming structure.
