Abstract

A package (AC) which accommodates at least one cup having top flanges includes a wrapper comprising a top panel (12) overlying the top ends of each cup, side wall panels (14, 16) depending from and hinged to opposed side edges of the top wall and end wall constructions (W, W1) at each of the two other opposed side edges of the top wall. The wrapper is held in its completed form to retain each cup therein by cooperation between each of the end wall constructions and the adjacent cup and by retaining slots (22, 24; 26, 28) to maintain each of the cups in cooperation with the end wall constructions.
