A holder for standard liquid filled cartons, such as those containing milk or juice. The holder includes a sleeve that surrounds the carton sides, a base closing the sleeve for supporting the bottom of a carton and a handle for lifting and carrying the holder and carton and for pouring liquid from the carton. The handle preferably is movable between a deployed position for use and a stored position folded against the holder. The holder may also be used as a measuring vessel when a carton is not housed therein. A second set of indica may be provided on the sleeve indicating the volume at different levels in the holder without a carton therein. Also, a thermometer, preferably a liquid crystal temperature indicating strip, may be provided on the inside of a transparent sleeve to show the temperature of a container therein.

A combined carton holder and liquid measuring container which comprises: a rectangular tubular sleeve sized to slidingly receive and frictionally engage a conventional flexible-walled carton for liquids; an end closure sealingly closing one end of said sleeve for substantially uniformly supporting a bottom surface of said carton; a handle on an external surface of said sleeve and extending outwardly of said sleeve for lifting said sleeve and pouring liquid from a carton housed in said sleeve; said handle being rectangular with substantially straight portions extending out from the sleeve and with a substantially straight cross piece extending approximately parallel to the sleeve, said cross piece being closely adjacent to said sleeve leaving room to insert fingers between sleeve and cross piece; hinge means on said handle so that said handle can be moved between a storage position flat against said sleeve and a deployed position extending approximately perpendicular to said sleeve; latch means at said hinge means for latching said handle in said deployed and storage positions; and indicia along at least one sleeve surface indicating quantity of liquid in said holder when said holder is filled to different levels.
