Abstract
The invention provides a packaging device for individual containers comprising a cardboard, plastic material or similar blank with a surface formed with orifices through which said containers pass and grooved along two continuous or discontinuous lines defining two strips, which, after bending form two short parallel flaps with tongues coming from the cut-outs forming said orifices in the blank and adapted to be erected therefrom opposite the flaps, said containers--held in said orifices--are further supported by said flaps or said tongues bearing under an external projection of the containers, which tongues act in the manner of buttresses or stays, by bearing on a zone of small extent of the projection, and the total height of the tongues and flaps by which the device may rest on a display surface or any appropriate support is substantially equal to the height of said containers.
