A portable package carrying arrangement comprising:
- a panel portion, said panel portion having a top surface, a bottom surface, and first and second side edges, wherein at least one of said top and bottom surface includes first and second container retainers, each of said container retainers includes first and second container flanges, each of said container retainers configured to releasably secure a plurality of containers to said panel portion such that each of the containers are positioned adjacent to one another when connected by said container retainer, each of said first and second container flanges for each of said first and second container retainers extends above said top or bottom surface of said panel portion, said first and second container flanges for each of said first and second container retainers are spaced apart from one another and face one another, said first and second container flanges of each of said first and second container retainers is configured to entrap at least a portion of the plurality of containers when the plurality of containers are releasably positioned and secured between said first and second container flanges for each of said first and second container retainers, said first and second container flanges of said first container retainer configured to encircle about 15-70% of a perimeter of each of the containers that are releasably connected to said first and second container flanges of said first container retainer, said first and second container flanges of said second container retainer configured to encircle about 15-70% of a perimeter of each of the containers that are releasably connected to said first and second container flanges of said second container retainer, the plurality of containers that are releasably secured to said first and second container flanges of said first container retainer are spaced apart from one another, the plurality of containers that are releasably secured to said first and second container flanges of said second container retainer are spaced apart from one another, each of said first and second container flanges of said first and second container retainers has a wave shape to facilitate in releasably securing the plurality of containers to said first and second container flanges of said first and second container retainers, said first and second container flanges each have a longitudinal length that extends a majority of a distance between said first and second sides of said panel portion;
- and,
- a handle portion, said handle portion connected to said panel portion, said handle portion configured to enable a user to grasp said handle portion and carry said panel portion.
A portable package carrying arrangement comprising:
- a panel portion, said panel portion having a top surface, a bottom surface, and first and second side edges, wherein said bottom surface includes first and second container retainers, each of said container retainers includes first and second container flanges, each of said container retainers configured to releasably secure a plurality of containers to said panel portion such that each of the containers are positioned adjacent to one another and spaced apart from one another when connected by said first and second container retainers, each of said first and second container flanges for each of said first and second container retainers extends below said bottom surface of said panel portion, said first and second container flanges for each of said first and second container retainers are spaced apart from one another and face one another, said first and second container flanges of each of said first and second container retainers is configured to entrap at least a portion of the plurality of containers when the plurality of containers are releasably positioned and secured between said first and second container flanges for each of said first and second container retainers, said first and second container flanges of said first container retainer configured to encircle about 15-70% of a perimeter of each of the containers that are releasably connected to said first and second container flanges of said first container retainer, said first and second container flanges of said second container retainer configured to encircle about 15-70% of a perimeter of each of the containers that are releasably connected to said first and second container flanges of said second container retainer, the plurality of containers that are releasably secured to said first and second container flanges of said first container retainer are spaced apart from one another, the plurality of containers that are releasably secured to said first and second container flanges of said second container retainer are spaced apart from one another, at least one of said first and second container flanges of said first and second container retainers has a wave shape to facilitate in releasably securing the plurality of containers to said first and second container flanges of said first and second container retainers, at least one said first and second container flanges of said second container retainer configured to engage two different containers that are spaced apart from one another when said second container retainer is at least partially releasably securing the two different containers to said panel portion;
- and,
- a handle portion, said handle portion connected to said panel portion, said handle portion configured to enable a user to grasp said handle portion and carry said panel portion.
A portable package carrying arrangement comprising:
- a panel portion, said panel portion having a top surface, a bottom surface, and first and second side edges, wherein said bottom surface includes first and second container retainers, each of said container retainers includes first and second container flanges, each of said container retainers configured to releasably secure a plurality of containers to said panel portion such that each of the containers are positioned adjacent to one another and spaced apart from one another when connected by said first and second container retainers, each of said first and second container flanges for each of said first and second container retainers extends below said bottom surface of said panel portion, said first and second container flanges for each of said first and second container retainers are spaced apart from one another and face one another, said first and second container flanges of each of said first and second container retainers is configured to entrap at least a portion of the plurality of containers when the plurality of containers are releasably positioned and secured between said first and second container flanges for each of said first and second container retainers, said first and second container flanges of said first container retainer configured to encircle about 15-70% of a perimeter of each of the containers that are releasably connected to said first and second container flanges of said first container retainer, said first and second container flanges of said second container retainer configured to encircle about 15-70% of a perimeter of each of the containers that are releasably connected to said first and second container flanges of said second container retainer, the plurality of containers that are releasably secured to said first and second container flanges of said first container retainer are spaced apart from one another, the plurality of containers that are releasably secured to said first and second container flanges of said second container retainer are spaced apart from one another, at least one of said first and second container flanges of said first and second container retainers has a wave shape to facilitate in releasably securing the plurality of containers to said first and second container flanges of said first and second container retainers, said first and second container flanges each have a longitudinal length that extends a majority of a distance between said first and second sides of said panel portion;
- and,
- a handle portion, said handle portion connected to said panel portion, said handle portion configured to enable a user to grasp said handle portion and carry said panel portion.
