Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006065941A2] A carrier (201) is provided with vertical support panels (24, 26), each with a receptacle (27, 29) extending outwardly from its lower region. The carrier is made from blanks (136, 138, 288, 290, 382) in which foldable panels are arranged in linear arrays. In the blanks, the vertical support panels can be folded and bonded to one another back-to-back. This facilitates close nesting of the blanks with one another on a sheet of fiberboard material so as to maximize the number of carriers which can be made from a given area of sheet material. A specific embodiment (410, 531) of the carrier has beverage cup-holding receptacles (435, 437) on opposite sides of a vertical support panel, and a third much larger receptacle (439) formed from the same blank. The carrier is stored flat and is unfolded for use at a usage location such as a motion picture theater concession stand, where it can be used to carry beverage cups in the smaller receptacles and a bucket or quantity of loose popcorn or similar bulky foods in the large receptacle.
