Abstract (en)

A carrier (20) for carrying a plurality of containers (22) comprises container engaging portions (30,32), each having bands (34) defining apertures (46) therein for holding the containers to form a package (23). Each of the bands has an inner margin portion (36), an outer margin portion (38) and side margin portions (40,42) between said inner (36) and outer (38) margin portions. The inner margin portions (36) of adjacent bands (34) are joined together, the side margin portions (40,42) of adjacent bands (34) are joined together and the side margin portions (40,42) of adjacent bands (34) are joined together. The outer margin portions (38) of the bands (34) on at least one of the container engaging portions (30,32) has a first portion (56), a second portion (58) and separating means (60) between said first and second portions (56,58). The separating means (60) is for selectively separating the second portion (58) from the first portion (56). The first portion (56) of the outer margin portion is capable of being continuous after said second portion (58) has been separated to maintain said containers (22) in said package (23) whilst enabling them to be detached readily. <IMAGE>
