Abstract
A unitary package for retaining and handling a plurality of generally elongate containers arranged in array includes an arranging structure in which an apertured sheet of resiliently deformable material has a plurality of apertures within which respective lower end portions of the containers are gripped in mutually spaced apart relationship. A film envelope is stretched over the container array and bonded to the sheet of the arranging structure to provide tensioned cohension between the sheet and the envelope which cooperate to produce structural integrity of the package and handling as a stabilized unit without relative skewing of the containers.
