Abstract

A cardboard package for a group of bottles or any containers of a generally cylindrical shape has a flat binder encircling its lateral surfaces. The binder is held in the plane of equilibrium of the full package by deformable structures on each of the corners of the lateral surfaces. When the binder is pulled the deformable structures collapse thus reducing the periphery of the package and the excess loop of the binder can be used as a handle. (Based on FIG. 2).
