Abstract
A carton carrier fashioned from a unitary blank of paperboard displays utility in carrying two or more cartons of the cable top type. The carrier is in the general form of an inverted rectangular tray, with the longitudinal side walls of the tray having double thickness tongues which fit into end recesses of respective gable top cartons, such as milk cartons. The carrier may be carried by placing fingers inside an opening on its top surface. The construction permits vertical stacking of groups of gable top cartons and also provides sufficient strength for carrying the cartons.
