摘要： A foldable carrier for beverages and other objects has a pair of folding receptacles extending outwardly from a central vertical support panel structure. In a first embodiment, the vertical support panel structure is made of one material as a first component, and an external side wall structure of a second material, preferably of lower cost, and the two components are joined together. In another embodiment, horizontal slits are formed in the side walls across two or four corners of the carrier, and the resulting horizontal strips of material are bent inwardly to form dividers for separating objects from one another in the receptacles. In a third embodiment, the carrier is made from a blank with a structure for use with a variety of different right-angle gluers.

摘要： A carrier (201) is provided with vertical support panels (24, 26), each with a receptacle (27, 29) extending outwardly from its lower region. The carrier is made from blanks (136, 138, 288, 290, 382) in which foldable panels are arranged in linear arrays. In the blanks, the vertical support panels can be folded and bonded to one another back-to-back. This facilitates close nesting of the blanks with one another on a sheet of fiberboard material so as to maximize the number of carriers which can be made from a given area of sheet material. A specific embodiment (410, 531) of the carrier has beverage cup-holding receptacles (435, 437) on opposite sides of a vertical support panel, and a third much larger receptacle (439) formed from the same blank. The carrier is stored flat and is unfolded for use at a usage location such as a motion picture theater concession stand, where it can be used to carry beverage cups in the smaller receptacles and a bucket or quantity of loose popcorn or similar bulky foods in the large receptacle.
