The flap provides a foldable piece during the cutting of the end cutouts which folds up against the connecting strip to double it.

Abstract: A packaging arrangement for a group of containers includes a tray-shaped bottom including a planar bottom wall and circumferential walls extending substantially normal to the plane of the bottom wall to form a rim which initially confines the containers in their positions during the formation of the packaging arrangement. The packaging arrangement further includes a strap-shaped typing member that encircles the containers and ultimately confines them in their positions and that carries a handle by which the packaging arrangement and the containers accommodated therein can be held. A separate cover to be joined to the tray-shaped bottom and surrounding the containers and the strap-shaped typing member encircling the same completes the packaging arrangement and has an opening for the passage of the handle from the interior to the exterior of the cover.

Abstract: A composite package for a group of articles includes a substantially tray-shaped bottom portion having a bottom wall and a plurality of upstanding edge walls which include a front edge wall and a rear edge wall having respective upper edges and which confine the group of articles supported on the bottom wall between themselves. A cover portion is connected to the bottom portion in an assembled condition of the package to cover the bottom portion and the group of articles. The cover portion includes a front wall including a front panel having an opening and two lugs extending along the front panel in a closed position of the front panel. An elongated endless strap is received in the package and loosely surrounds the group of articles in the assembled condition of the package. The upper edges of the front and rear edge walls are provided with holding projections which hold the strap in position on the bottom portion.
