An improved crown support carrier production blank and erected carrier for use with a plurality of beverage bottles. The production blank and the erected carrier are formed with a plurality of inclined upper side and end panels hingedly attached to a central panel and hingedly attached to a plurality of vertical lower side and end panels. A plurality of T-shaped corner glue tabs are formed in the corners of the production blank and are adhesively secured to the lower side and end panels when the production blank is erected to a completed carrier. The T-shaped glue tabs act as an exceptional reinforcing strip on the corners while their shape and placement are designed to round out or soften the corners rather than have sharp piercing corners typical in prior art carriers. Sunburst bottle receiving openings are positioned in the central panel along with at least one opening for use in carrying the package.
