Aspects of the disclosure relate to a handle structure, an article carrier for packaging a plurality of articles, and to a blank for forming the handle structure or article carrier. The article carrier comprises at least one primary panel forming a handle structure. The at least one primary panel comprises at least one, at least two, or more article retention structures for engaging an article so as to provide a top gripping article carrier. The at least one article retention structure comprises a receiving opening having or defined by a boundary including a first edge and second opposing edge and a longitudinal dimension defined therebetween. The second edge is defined by a hinged connection between at least one support tooth and the at least one primary panel from which it is formed. The at least one article retention structure comprises a center disposed on a notional line bisecting the at least one article retention structure in a longitudinal direction and midway between the first and second edges. The at least one article retention structure comprises a region defining a maximum transverse dimension. The maximum width region is disposed between the center of the at least one article retention structure and the first edge of the at least one article retention structure.
An article carrier for packaging one or more articles, the article carrier comprising:
An article carrier for packaging one or more articles, comprising:
An article carrier for packaging one or more articles, the article carrier comprising two or more main panels in face-to-face relationship with each other, each of the two or more main panels comprising at least one article retention structure, a first one of the two or more main panels comprises at least one first article retention structure and a second one of the two or more main panels comprises at least one second article retention structure, the at least one first article retention structure being disposed in vertical registry with the at least one second article retention structure, wherein the at least one first article retention structure comprises a receiving opening surrounded at least in part by two or more first support teeth, each of the two or more first support teeth is separated from an adjacent neighboring one of the two or more first support teeth by a cutline, wherein the at least one second article retention structure comprises a receiving opening surrounded at least in part by two or more second support teeth, each of the two or more second support teeth is separated from an adjacent neighboring one of the two or more second support teeth by a cutaway, and wherein the cutaway is disposed in vertical registry with the cutline.
A blank for forming an article carrier, the blank comprising:
