Abstract

A carrier (112) is formed of foldable sheet material and is usable with a container (110) having a top (108), a bottom and sides (109), the top having a handle (111) and at least one of the sides having a mouth for emptying contents from the container. The carrier comprises a bottom (117) and a plurality of side panels (113, 115) adjoining and connected thereto. It further comprises a handle panel (118) formed with at least one of the side panels and including a first aperture (126) for fitting over the handle of the container so that at least a portion of one of the side panels of the carrier rests against the side of the container. The carrier provides an upwardly open compartment (124) including a pair of cutting lines (138) horizontally forming a band (139) cut into the compartment corner (116). Upon inward depression of the band a partition will be formed in the upwardly open compartment, dividing the compartment.
