Abstract
A composite frame-like holder for a plurality of articles such as containers, a blank for the composite holder, and a method of forming the holder from the blank. The composite holder is an aggregate of singly or multiply severable holder units which can be severed from the composite in a manner that maintains the integrity of the severed unit and of the remaining composite. Each unit has a sloping leg panel with an aperture for receiving an article, a vertical side panel and a top panel foldable over the article and having means adjacent its edge for securing it to the holder unit. The method includes folding the blank along its center line to place its sections in superimposed, substantially mirror-image juxtaposition, securing one section to the other along their center strips, severing the center line, depositing containers in leg panel apertures and securing the containers to the thereby formed holders.
