Abstract: The present invention is directed to a box beam carrier composed of essentially two facing channel members with a series of openings in each of the channel members with the openings in aligned pairs to receive a preformed pocket which is snap-fitted in the pair of openings for ease of insertion or removal and so formed with the carrier that cleaning fluid is encouraged to flow through the pockets and remove labels and contaminants from the containers supported in the pockets. The pockets are of a nonmetallic material for the protection of containers against scuffing, chipping, or scratching that would be particularly detrimental to containers formed of glass or other hard surface-type containers.
