Abstract: A molded plastic bottle holder is illustrated wherein individual rib sections are provided for receiving respective necks of the bottles held to form a package. Each of the individual rib sections carries a number of segmental flexible lip members extending upwardly and inwardly to receive the neck of the bottle and wedge shaped members are carried by marginal portions of the flexible lip members to define an opening and to add rigidity at the opening to facilitate removal of a bottle from the bottle holder while ensuring adequate gripping action during handling.
