Abstract: A collapsible carrier for tapered articles is disclosed. The carrier includes a pair of upright handle panels secured together in a face-to-face contacting relationship, a pair of divergent upper panels foldably joined respectively to the lower edges of the handle panels, and a pair of convergent lower panels foldably interconnected with the upper panels to form in cooperation with the upper panels a tubular structure. Each upper panel has an article-receiving aperture. Each lower panel also has an article-receiving aperture. The receiving aperture in each upper panel is vertically aligned with that in the adjacent lower panel. The summation of the widths of the lower panels is less than that of the widths of the upper panels so that the tubular structure is prevented from collapsing flat when at least one of the vertically aligned pairs of the receiving apertures are loaded with an article.
