Abstract

A foldable tote designed for safely transporting large bottles of liquid is disclosed. The tote features two individual compartments, each with a base and three walls extending vertically, designed to securely hold large bottles. A handle, which includes an ergonomic aperture, extends between the compartments and forms a common wall. The tote transitions from a folded, compact state to an unfolded, functional state through the movement of inner tabs and triangular members that lock into place to provide a solid base for each compartment. The inner tabs fold from a vertical position adhered to the compartment walls to a horizontal position covering the base. The compartments extend halfway up the bottle height, preventing tilting and ensuring safe transport.
