Abstract:
Bottle carriers for transporting liquids in glass bottles or other breakable containers may be either flexible or rigid and provide leak-proof containment for any spillage of the contents of the breakable container. Flexible bottle carriers have a leak proof bag and a wrap that provides additional cushioning and protection to the contents as well as provides an aesthetically appealing covering. Rigid and semi-rigid bottle carriers have two segments that are capable of interlocking to form a reservoir for containing a glass bottle or other breakable container and which are leak-proof. Rigid and semi-rigid bottle carriers may additionally be nestable or collapsible for ease in transporting the empty carrier.
