Abstract
A plastic carrier for carrying containers includes container engaging portions which extend from a joint. The joint is at adjacent edges of the container engaging portions. The container engaging portions include a plurality of annular bands for securely holding containers therein. The joint is formed by bonding the layers of plastic material between the edges of the container engaging portions. The joint is interrupted along its length to enable the joint and container engaging portions to stretch when containers are placed in the carrier. The carrier may include a handle portion which extends from the joint for carrying the containers.
