Abstract
A carrier package is constructed to tightly secure articles within the package. During loading, pushing the containers into the package causes the side panels of the package to deform so that the height of the package decreases and the width of the package increases.
Claims15
A method of erecting a carrier package, comprising:
- obtaining a blank, the blank comprising a bottom panel, a top panel, a first side panel having a first upper section and a first lower section, and a second side panel;
- forming a substantially tubular form from the blank;
- and
- loading containers into the substantially tubular form, wherein the loading the containers into the substantially tubular form causes the first upper section and the first lower section to move out of plane with a medial section of the first side panel.
