- the blanks 203, 303 can be generally similar to the blank 103 of the first exemplary embodiment, and like or similar features are provided with like or similar reference numerals.
- the blank 203 can include a different configuration of the container retention tabs 137 positioned extending into the container openings 135, designated 237.
- the container retention tabs 237 can have a generally bifurcated configuration so at to be at least partially separated into two portions at a line of weakening. It will be understood that a different number, configuration, and/or arrangement of container retention tabs can be provided without departing from the disclosure.
- the blank 203 can be formed into a package and carrier in a manner similar to that described above with regard to the carrier 105/package 110, so as to provide similar advantages.
- the blank 303 can include a different configuration of the container retention tabs 137 positioned extending into the container openings 135, designated 337.
- the container retention tabs 337 can have a generally bifurcated configuration so at to be at least partially separated into two portions at a line of weakening in a manner different than illustrated above with regard to the container retention tabs 237. It will be understood that a different number, configuration, and/or arrangement of container retention tabs can be provided without departing from the disclosure.
- the blank 303 can be formed into a package and carrier in a manner similar to that described above with regard to the carrier 105/package 110, so as to provide similar advantages.
- the blank may be constructed from paperboard having a caliper so that it is heavier and more rigid than ordinary paper.
- the blank can also be constructed of other materials, such as cardboard, or any other material having properties suitable for enabling the carrier to function at least generally as described above.
- the blank can be coated with, for example, a clay coating.
- the clay coating may then be printed over with product, advertising, and other information or images.
- the blanks may then be coated with a varnish to protect information printed on the blanks.
- the blanks may also be coated with, for example, a moisture barrier layer, on either or both sides of the blanks.
- the blanks can also be laminated to or coated with one or more sheet-like materials at selected panels or panel sections.
- a tear line can include: a slit that extends partially into the material along the desired line of weakness, and/or a series of spaced apart slits that extend partially into and/or completely through the material along the desired line of weakness, or various combinations of these features.
- one type tear line is in the form of a series of spaced apart slits that extend completely through the material, with adjacent slits being spaced apart slightly so that a nick (e.g., a small somewhat bridging-like piece of the material) is defined between the adjacent slits for typically temporarily connecting the material across the tear line. The nicks are broken during tearing along the tear line.
- the nicks typically are a relatively small percentage of the tear line, and alternatively the nicks can be omitted from or tom in a tear line such that the tear line is a continuous cut line. That is, it is within the scope of the present disclosure for each of the tear lines to be replaced with a continuous slit, or the like.
- a cut line can be a continuous slit or could be wider than a slit without departing from the present disclosure.
- a fold line can be any substantially linear, although not necessarily straight, form of weakening that facilitates folding therealong. More specifically, but not for the purpose of narrowing the scope of the present disclosure, fold lines include: a score line, such as lines formed with a blunt scoring knife, or the like, which creates a crushed or depressed portion in the material along the desired line of weakness; a cut that extends partially into a material along the desired line of weakness, and/or a series of cuts that extend partially into and/or completely through the material along the desired line of weakness; and various combinations of these features. In situations where cutting is used to create a fold line, typically the cutting will not be overly extensive in a manner that might cause a reasonable user to incorrectly consider the fold line to be a tear line.
