Claim:
A carrier formed of foldable sheet material, the carrier comprising: a bottom; a plurality of side panels adjoined and connected to the bottom; and a handle panel formed in continuation of one of the side panels, wherein the handle panel comprises: a first fold line being parallel to a plane formed by the bottom; a first aperture being perpendicular to the first fold line; a second aperture being perpendicular to the first fold line and in line with the first aperture; and a first perforated line in continuation of the first aperture and the second aperture, wherein pressure applied on the first perforated line tears apart material to produce a third aperture in continuation of the first aperture and the second aperture; wherein when the third aperture is open in continuation of the first aperture and the second aperture, the handle panel is foldable along the first fold line over a container to accommodate a shape of the container and to facilitate penetration of a handle of the container through the first aperture, the second aperture, and the third aperture; a second perforated line defining a finger opening in the handle panel, wherein pressure applied inside the second perforated line dislocates material to produce the finger opening; and wherein the carrier is attachable back-to-back to an identical carrier, the finger opening matching a finger opening in the identical carrier.
