Abstract

A carrier (1100) formed of foldable sheet material comprises a bottom and a plurality of side panels (1115, 1119) adjoining and connected to the bottom. The side panels form an open compartment (1124). One of the side panels forms a handle panel (1118) having a first aperture (1126). The compartment is divided by a handle panel divider (1110) extending from the compartment. The handle panel (1118) is foldable over the handle panel divider of the carrier to form a compartment cover.
