Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0680891A1] A unitized package has an upper tier and a lower tier. Each tier comprises substantially identical containers (12), in a substantially rectangular array and a carrier (20) made from a single sheet of resilient polymeric material. A covering sheet (40) is folded so as to form a cover panel (42), which covers the upper ends of the containers (12) of the upper tier, and two lateral panels (44), which extend downwardly from the cover panel (42), along and below the containers (12) of the upper tier, and along the containers (12) of the lower tier. A dividing sheet (30) can be provided and is folded so as to form a divider panel (32), which covers the upper ends of the containers (12) of the lower tier, and two lateral flaps (34), which extend downwardly between the lateral panels (44) of the covering sheet (40) and the containers (12) of the lower tier. The lateral panels (44) of the covering sheet are affixed adhesively to the carriers (20) of the respective tiers and to the lateral flap (32)s of the dividing sheet (30). Alternatively the divider panel (50a) may be formed integrally with one of the lateral panels (36a) (Figure 7). <IMAGE>
