Abstract: A carrier for two rows of one or more bottles, made of die-cut plastic sheet. Two bottom panels extend between upright center and outer-face panels. The center panel(s) connect directly to top handle elements and the outer face panels connect thereto through top panels formed of bottle-separator strips. Lift struts integral with bottom and center panels extend from the outer halves of the bottom panels, upward and inward, across the center planes of the bottles to the handle, so as to separate the bottoms of the bottles, and to form primary lift elements from the bottom of the bottles to the handle. Two other lift trains connect the handle to the bottom panels, an inner one through the center panels and an outer one through the top and outer face panels. Such elements confine and protect each bottle on all four sides.
