Abstract A carrier is disclosed, made of foldable material, such as corrugated cardboard, solid fiberboard, paperboard, molded pulp, or various solid or foamed plastics, or laminates of these or other materials, for example, and comprising a bottom wall, first and second end walls extending upwardly from said bottom wall, and a handle extending between said first and second end walls, said handle having a horizontal panel and downwardly folded stiffening flanges thereon. In certain embodiments, the handle is folded from the upper portion of one end wall and is adapted to extend through an opening in the other end wall. The handle and the opening are preferably triangular in shape. Locking means are preferably provided to retain the handle in the opening. The carrier comprises one or more intermediate panels folded from said first end wall and secured to said second end wall, the intermediate panels preferably being formed with openings to receive cups or the like. Vertical flanges are preferably folded downwardly from said intermediate panels to provide rigidity. Locking tabs are preferably provided between the vertical flanges and the bottom wall. A space for sandwiches or the like is preferably provided between the intermediate panels.
