Abstract
This invention relates to a package of a plurality of containers unitized with a flexible container carrier. The carrier is constructed from a plastic planar sheet having a plurality of container receiving openings. At least one handle is integrally formed with the sheet and removable along a handle tear line. A carrier tear line extends across the sheet and enables the package to be divided into sub-packages depending upon merchandising requirements. One or more handles are removed along the handle tear line, depending on the required configuration of the package.
