Abstract

An article carrier and a blank for forming an article carrier for carrying one or more necked articles (A), which article carrier comprises a plurality of panels for forming the article carrier including a pair of laterally spaced top panels (46, 56), a pair of handle panels (16, 18) extending upwardly from the top panels to form a carrying handle (H), and a bridging panel (87) provided to span the space between the top panels wherein the bridging panel is a sheet member formed from a separate blank (82), the opposite ends (84, 90) of the sheet member being attached to the handle panels.
