Abstract: A beverage carrier for holding, storing, and carrying beverages is provided. The carrier has a handle and six or more individually detachable sleeves arranged in two rows on each side of the handle. When a sleeve is detached from the carrier, with a beverage remaining within the sleeve, the sleeve serves as an insulating device for the beverage. The beverage carrier is manufactured from a template, which is a single, continuous piece of generally flat material such as cardboard or paperboard. The end sleeves of each row of sleeves is attached directly to the handle, and the middle sleeves are attached to the handle via a hinge that allows the middle sleeves to be folded into place between the end sleeves. The hinges allow the template to be made from a single piece of material without any overlapping material. Because the carrier is made from such a template, a high volume of carriers can be manufactured using automated machinery.

Abstract: A carton includes a plurality of panels for forming a structure for containing the one or more articles (C), and a dispenser (D) having an access panel (35). The access panel is at least partially defined by a frangible line (64, 66, 68, 70, 75, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80) extending in at least one of the plurality of panels. The access panel is at least partially removable from the carton (90) to thereby form a dispenser opening. The carton further includes a handle structure (H) for grasping and carrying the carton. The handle structure extends only partially within the access panel such that only a portion of the handle structure is removable from the carton with the access panel.
