It is a support portion configured to support a plurality of other food and drink products G that can be immediately served while standing up. The support portion 1 is provided with a reinforcing portion 10 for reinforcing the support portion 1 itself while supporting the food and drink product G, and a grip portion 20 having fingers or the like. The support portion 1, the reinforcing portion 10,
The handle portion 20 and the like are appropriately arranged and formed on a single thick cardboard, for example, and are assembled by assembly. In addition, as a material for forming the support portion 1, the reinforcing portion 10, the handle portion 20, and the like, mainly a thick cardboard is used as appropriate, but the material is not limited thereto. It is also possible to use a synthetic resin plate or the like.
When using cardboard, it is desirable to apply a water-resistant treatment to the front and back surfaces and a glazing treatment, etc., in order to have a sense of cleanliness. In addition, regardless of the type of material, generally display appropriate colors, patterns, etc. by printing etc. You can also.

The support portion 1 is formed in a thin plate shape by the cardboard itself, and a plurality of product support holes 2 are arranged in a perforated manner. The product support hole 2 is passed from the seller to the purchaser, and the food product G to be brought back by the purchaser is forcibly inserted and set in the middle so that the food product G itself is sandwiched and supported from around the food product G while standing. A plurality of undulating holding pieces 3 are connected to the edge of the hole having an inner diameter and an inner diameter corresponding to the size of the food and drink product G. The hole itself has, for example, an octagonal shape in a plane as shown in the figure, and the holding piece 3 has an isosceles triangular shape with a straight side edge at the hole edge of the hole as a bottom, and the apexes of the holes are formed as holes. At the center position. That is, when the support portion 1 itself is formed of a suitably thick board as described above, a flat octagonal fold line b is attached to the board itself, and eight radial separation lines c are provided therein.
