Abstract

A carrier (112) is formed of foldable sheet material, the carrier being usable with a container (110). The container has a top (108), a bottom and sides, the top having a handle, and at least one of the sides having a mouth for emptying contents from the container. The carrier (112) includes a bottom (117), side panels (113,114,115,116) adjoined and connected to the bottom, and a handle panel formed with at least one of the side panels (113). The handle panel includes a first aperture (126) for fitting over the handle (111) on the top of the container (110) such that at least a portion of one of the side panels (113) of the carrier rests against a side of the container.
