Abstract
An article carrier has a pair of angularly related panels (1, 14, 18, 20) and an article retaining feature (40). The angularly related panels are hingedly connected together along a fold line (26, 30). The retaining feature includes a retaining aperture (46) for receiving a portion of an article to be received in the carrier. The aperture is defined in one of the angularly related panels and extends into the other of the angularly related panels. The retaining feature further includes a tab portion (56) protruding into the aperture. The tab portion is positioned such that the fold line between the angularly related panels extends across the tab portion and terminates at an apex of the tab portion.
