Abstract
A holder for a liquid container includes a sheet of material that is deployable into an operational state. In the operational state, the sheet of material forms a top panel including a first edge, a second edge opposite the first edge, and an aperture positioned between the first edge and the second edge. The aperture is configured to receive a liquid container. The sheet of material also forms a first support panel that is coupled to the first edge of the top panel along a first curved crease and that extends down from the top panel, and a second support panel coupled to the second edge of the top panel along a second curved crease and that extends down from the top panel.
