Abstract
An improved partition structure for a wrap-around beverage carrier is disclosed. The partition structure comprises an elongated longitudinal structure having at least two hinged butterfly elements formed thereon and the structure has at least one hinged tab formed on the bottom edge of the partition structure. The tab extends on opposite sides of the structure for engagement beneath the bottles contained in the carrier. As a result the partition does not have to be glued to the carrier.
