Abstract

An article carrier comprises a generally tubular wraparound structure, and a carrying handle (H1) extending generally upwardly from the tubular structure. The tubular structure includes laterally spaced top panels (146,156) and a bridging structure (195,197) disposed to span a space between the top panels (146,156). The carrying handle (H1) includes handle panels (116,118) extending from the spaced respective inner side edges (126,130) of the top panels and secured partially together in a face-to-face contacting relationship. The handle panels (116,118) are hingedly connected together along medial fold lines (193,194) formed respectively in the handle panels (116,118). The medial fold lines (193,194) extend along the tubular axis of the tubular structure and are disposed in registry with each other. The distance (D1) between each medial fold line (193,194) and the adjacent inner side edge (126,130) is generally equal to a half of the distance (D2) between the inner side edges (126,130).
