Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a package, an article carrier for packaging one or more articles and a blank for forming the carrier. The article carrier (90; 290) comprises spaced apart panels (14, 16; 114, 116; 214, 216) including a first side panel (14; 114; 214) and a second side panel (16; 116; 216). The spaced apart panels (14, 16; 114, 116; 214, 216) are coupled to each other by a keel structure. The keel structure comprises a first keel panel (20A, 20F; 120A, 120F; 218A, 218F) hingedly connected to each of the pair of spaced apart panels (14, 16; 114, 116; 214, 216) by a web panel (T1, V1, T6, V6). The keel structure comprises an end flap (24A, 24B; 124A, 124B; 228A, 228B) hingedly connected to the first keel panel (20A, 20F; 120A, 120F; 218A, 218F) by a hinge line (25A, 25B; 125A, 125B; 229A, 229B) and disposed in face-to-face relationship with the first keel panel (20A, 20F; 120A, 120F; 218A, 218F). The first keel panel (20A, 20F; 120A, 120F; 218A, 218F) and the end flap (24A, 24B; 124A, 124B; 228A, 228B) form a two-ply handle structure H for carrying the article carrier (90; 290).
