Abstract
A packaging device for individual containers comprising a cardboard, plastic material or similar blank with a surface formed with orifices through which the 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 orifices in the blank and adapted to be erected therefrom opposite the flaps, the containers--held in the orifices--are further supported by the flaps or the 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 the containers.
