A container package including a series of similarly configured containers maintained in adjacent relation by a series of interconnected rings formed from a resilient deformable material each surrounding one of the containers of the container package. A plastic strip that passes through a loop located on a container and attaches to its surrounding ring, or a bracket attached to the container straddling the ring, provides a permanent connection between each container and its surrounding ring. The rings are weakened either side of the connection so that on removal of a container from a ring the stress caused to the ring by the connection to the container ruptures the ring. This prevents wildlife from becoming entangled in unruptured rings of plastic carriers once the package is discarded.

A container package comprising: a series of similarly configured containers; a series of interconnected rings formed from a resilient deformable material, each surrounding and engaging one of said array of containers for maintaining said containers in adjacent relation and having a weakened portion extending across the girth of said ring; and connection means for linking each said ring to the container with which it is engaged such that on removal of said container from said engaging ring, stress applied to said ring by said connection means ruptures said ring at said weakened portion.
