Abstract The invention is a rack structure made of molded plastic, wire or sheet metal, which on one face has a series of arms into which the necks of a group of jars, bottles or similar capped cans can be snapped to hold them in a row. On the other side of the structure are a series of hooks which permit the rack to be mounted into the holes in the perforated board which is commonly used for storage walls or display racks, or into a single wallmountable bracket. The rack structure is also fitted with cavities such that when two of them are mounted back-to-back with a cardboard, sheet plastic, or wire handle between them or otherwise locked to them, the hooks on one rack mate with the cavities on the other so that the assembly forms a multiple container carrier.
