Abstract: A carrier configuration for two or more bottles such as beverage bottles includes an inner member having regions which receive each of the bottle necks and an outer member which extends about the grouping of bottles at their midsections. The inner member is sized to nest within the outer member and they may be punched simultaneously from a flat sheet of material such as polyethylene. Preferably, the adjacent inner edge of the outer member and the outer edge of the inner member are partially connected and scored by the punching operations such that they may be readily separated from one another as they are installed in the positions above described on a grouping of containers.
