Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to an article top engaging device, a carrier (90) for packaging one or more articles (B) and a blank (10) for forming the carrier. The article carrier comprises a sleeve structure (12/18) defining at least in part an interior of the article carrier for receiving at least one article, the sleeve structure including at least one substantially planar portion. An end closure structure (14/16) is hingedly connected to a first end of the sleeve structure to at least partially close the first end. At least one glue flap (20, 22) is hingedly connected to the planar portion of the sleeve structure for pivotal movement with respect to the planar portion. The at least one glue flap is disposed generally in the plane of the planar portion of the sleeve structure when the at least one article is received in the interior of the article carrier.
