Abstract: A carrier to make a package of sealed cans is a flat sheet having a slot opening for each can. Each can has a tab fixed to its lid. The tabs are nested in the slots with the edges of the slots between the tabs and the lids. Frictional resistance between the cans and the carrier is sufficient to retain the cans in the carrier. A locking tongue can also be provided in the carrier to catch behind the tab for further assurance against retrograde movement. Moreover, the carrier can be made so that it dishes inside each can rim which enhances the strength and holding ability of the carrier.
