A set of connected blanks each for forming a top engaging carrier, wherein the blanks are detachably connected together in a matrix fashion wherein each blank has a plurality of top-receiving apertures wherein a first distance (D1) between the respective centres of two adjacent ones of the apertures of a first blank is less than a second distance (D2) between a centre of a corner aperture of the first blank and a centre of an adjacent corner aperture of a second blank and wherein the first distance (D1) is less than a third distance (D3) between the centre of the corner aperture of the first blank and a centre of an adjacent corner aperture of a third blank.
A blank for forming a top engaging carrier, the blank comprising a plurality of apertures each for receiving a portion of a generally cylindrical article wherein a first distance (D1) between the centres of two adjacent ones of the apertures is generally equal to the maximum diameter (Dc) of the article and a corner radius (Rb) of the blank is greater than a half of the maximum diameter (Dc) of the article.
