Abstract

The bottle carrier constructed from foldable flat material such as cardboard has a top wall (4) and bottom wall (2) interconnected on the sides by side walls, and a handle section (14) which extends transversely across the top wall and into two oppositely lying side walls (7,8). The handle section is bounded in the top wall and in the side walls by weakened lines, and has a strip-form center section (15) in the top wall, and two fork-shaped end sections (16',16''), of which each extends from the top wall into an adjoining side wall and is connected to the side wall on the outer ends.
