Aspects of the disclosure relate to a carrier in the form of a tray and to a blank for forming the carrier and to a method of assembling the carrier into a flat collapsible form. The carrier comprises a base wall, opposed side walls hingedly connected to opposed sides of the base wall, and opposed end walls hingedly connected to opposed ends of the base wall. Each of the end walls is coupled to each of the side walls by a corner structure. The corner structure comprises a first corner panel, a second corner panel and a web panel hingedly connected to each of the first and second corner panels. The web panel is disposed between first and second corner panels in face contacting relationship therewith. The web panel comprises a cutaway located distally from the base wall, such that the first corner panel is securable to the second corner panel.
An article carrier for a foodstuff comprising a base wall, opposed side walls hingedly connected to opposed sides of the base wall and opposed end walls hingedly connected to opposed ends of the base wall, wherein each of the end walls is coupled to each of the side walls by a corner structure, each corner structure comprising:
