Abstract
An article carrier of the wraparound type formed from a single sheet of paperboard and having top, bottom, and side panels separated by fold lines and which includes article retaining gussets formed at the corners of the bottom and side panels, the gussets being held in place by the weight of the article. Each gusset is formed having three triangular sections separated from each other and the side and bottom panels by fold lines, with a first section adjacent the bottom panel being folded through 180.degree. to lie flat on the bottom panel. The middle section is folded on top of the first section which causes the remaining section adjacent to the side panel to be erected in its retaining position. Articles contained within the carrier rest on the two folded sections to secure the retaining gussets and prevent movement of the articles.
