2114803 9302942 PCTABS00019 Can carriers are provided with upwardly protruding can-receiving members having oppositely paired can-receiving recesses (22) and can-stacking platforms (44). The can-receiving recesses (22) each are defined by an annular locking ring (26) which is joined to a protective inverted cup-shaped cover wall (32) sized and configured to closely correspond to the top bead (TB) of a conventional can (12). The locking ring (26) thus seats below the top bead of the can thereby removably locking the can (12) to the can carrier. A camming surface (34) downwardly and radially outwardly extends from the locking ring (26) and assists during the forcible insertion of a can into the can-receiving recess by urging the locking ring to bend and/or flex radially outwardly a sufficient amount to allow for the diametrically larger top bead to pass thereby. Once the top bead is seated in the can-receiving recess, the locking ring (26) will again resiliently return to its normal state. Paired finger opening (24' or 80) are preferably provided in association with a raised pad region (60 or 84). Structurally reinforcing rib elements (86) may also be provided with the pad regions (84).
