A carton in which a plurality of containers (C) are held in a complementary set of apertures (A) provided in a main panel (16) of the carton so that portions of the containers are exposed to view while other portions are enclosed by other panels (30,32; 14,18; 12,20) of the carton. An opposed pair (30,32) of these other panels for flanking body portions of the packaged containers include positioning tabs (38,40; 42,44) which extend into the container receiving apertures so that during loading and formation of the package the containers are urged against the positioning tabs which automatically cause the flanking panels to be pivoted into and held in the container flanking position.
