An article carrier and a blank for forming an article carrier of the basket type comprising in sequence a first end panel, a first side panel, a second end panel, a second side panel and a third end panel foldably connected together one to next. A base panel is hinged to respective one of the side panels and a handle structure comprising first and second handle panels is foldably connected to the second end panel. The first handle panel is foldably connected to the first end panel and the second hand panel is foldably connected to the third end panel. The first and second handle panels are adjacent to the first and second side panels respectively and are separated therefrom. The first and second handle panels are so constructed and arranged to be placed in face contacting relationship to form a two ply handle when the carrier is set up.
A blank for forming an article carrier of the basket type comprising a first end panel, a first side panel, a second end panel, a second side panel and a third end panel hingedly connected one to the next in series, a base panel hinged to one of said side or end panels and a handle structure including a hand aperture, which handle structure comprises first and second handle panels hingedly connected to said second end panel, the first handle panel is hingedly connected to the first end panel and the second handle panel is hingedly connected to the third end panel, the first and second handle panels are so constructed and arranged to be placed in face contacting relationship to form a two ply handle when the carrier is in a set up condition characterised in that the first and second handle panels are adjacent respective first and second side panels and are separated therefrom.
A method of forming an article carrier of the basket type from a first blank comprising a first end panel, a first side panel, a second end panel, a second side panel and third end panel hingedly connected one to the next in series and a handle structure hingedly connected to one or more of the end panels and a second blank for forming an internal partition which method comprises the steps of:
