Abstract: A multi-packaging device formed from stretchable and elastic plastic sheet material is disclosed as having a plurality of attached bands each including inner and outer curvilinear band sections wherein at least the outer curvilinear band sections thereof have a variable or tapering band width.

Abstract: A plastic sheet band multi-packaging device is disclosed as having means to facilitate carrying thereof in an economical and efficient multi-packaging design. The assembly of plastic sheet band multi-packaging devices to containers can also be greatly enhanced by folding techniques prior to and/or during assembly.

Abstract: A scrapless multi-packaging device for a plurality of containers is formed from a stretchable and elastic sheet of plastic material including laterally connected pairs of sheet material bands arranged in longitudinal rows and with longitudinal connections between adjacent sheet material bands in each row, the connections between said sheet material bands being creased to provide automatic opening of the sheet material bands in upstanding relationship for assembly to containers. The connections may also be perforated to facilitate separation into groups of bands as well as into individual bands.
