Concentric arcuate fold lines located radially outwardly of the openings are connected to the arcuate edges by slits to form flaps which can fold up to permit bottle necks of greater circumference to be received and held in place by the openings. The openings may be located adjacent the side panels of the carrier, in which case slits extending from the arcuate edges of the openings may be located in the side panels.

The interior body comprises a first inner liner and a second outer liner laminated together in a predetermined manner to provide a stress reduction means in the interior body. The stress reduction means is formed by offsetting the inner and outer liner manufacturing joints from each other a predetermined distance to provide a triple thickness at the two manufacturing joints along a portion of one of the upstanding walls of the interior body. A topcap with water proofed corners and a retention area for a banding strap may be used with the container and when used the topcap also has means for being interlocked to the exterior body of the bulk material container.
