• wherein the carrying handle comprises at least one aperture which defines said engaging edge, and wherein a first notional line passing through the center of said at least one aperture is spaced from a second notional line passing through a center of the medial partition structure such that the engaging edge is disposed in said off-centre position within the medial partition structure;
• wherein the blank comprises a panel for forming a bottom wall in a set-up carrier, and wherein the first and second notional lines each run in a perpendicular manner to the bottom wall in the set-up carrier;
