A package for containers such as cans or bottles arranged into two tiers includes a carton having a top wall, a pair of side walls, and a bottom wall all interconnected to form a tubular structure. A pair of lower end flaps is connected to the end edges of the bottom wall and a pair of upper end flaps is connected to the end edges of the top wall, the flaps being glued together to close the carton ends. The side wall width is smaller than the top or bottom wall length, whereby the carton includes open corners through which a portion of some of the packaged articles are exposed. A divider panel includes a main body portion having a pair of end edges and is of a length generally equal to said top wall length. A pair of divider end flaps are connected to the end edges of the main body. The divider panel is disposed within the carton. Each of the divider end flaps is glued to an inner surface of one of the upper and lower end flaps.
