Abstract
A method of constructing a carrier for bottles (such as two or four craft beer bottles), wherein the layout fits through a digital printer, is disclosed. A flat of beverage board is printed upon (on one side or both, though all exterior surfaces are derived from one side of the board) with individualized and/or short-run graphics. The flat is die-cut and folded into a square or rectangle closed by a tab that is glued on the back of one of side panels, and bottom flaps are folded and glued into place. A riser extends up from each of a pair of opposite sides to support a handle flap, and the handle flaps are glued together across the top of the rectangle.
