CARRIER AND CARRIER SYSTEM FOR CARTONSFIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a carrier and carrier system for carrying cartons containing fluids for drinking.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
[0002] Currently, the container multipack market has no universal solution to hand-carry containers. A common carrying option are corrugated box carriers that fit over or around the entirety of the containers with hole-punched or pull-up handles. Corrugated carrier structure is not much different for containers bearing caps either. If the carton has caps, the current corrugated box method is used with holes cut out for the carton containers' protruding caps. Corrugated carriers use a box-like structure that encapsulates the entire perimeter of containers with either one set of holes for a handle or two sets of holes for both the handle and the protruding caps. Corrugated carrying format lacks reusability, sustainability, and specialized features. These current cardboard carrying boxes are also not unique to packages because the current carrying structures are simply corrugated carriers constructed from 1-6 cardboard layers that are simply cut accurately enough to cover the given container's perimeter. There is no means within these current carriers to reliably secure each individual carton. Once the current corrugated boxes are opened, they cannot be reused unless they are manually re-glued together. Over the last few decades, there have been few advancements within the corrugated box multipack marketplace. There have been few advancements in enhancing security measures, carton compatibility, overall durability, carrier reusability, and product longevity.
[0003] The problem of secure carrying is particularly acute for aseptic, retortable, and chillable containers. Such containers are typically manufactured to have opposing flaps that extend downward along the exterior surfaces of the package. The flaps can be pulled upward and outward by a consumer / user to grasp the package with fingers under the flaps to enhance andensure secure / stable use while drinking the contents of the package, typically directly from an opening or through a straw.
[0004] Currently there are no means to independently secure individually packaged cartons without resorting to corrugated carriers. Current corrugated designs are unstable, break down easily, inconsistent, struggle to carry heavier volumes, and fail to carry larger quantities regardless of quantity. Additionally, certain cartons with larger dimensions and volumes, such as broth containers, soaps, or shampoo cartons, may struggle to fit inside a standard corrugated carrying container with handles because of their unusually large size and unique dimensions / shape. Usually, these heavier weighted cartons break down the corrugated carriers from the inside out. Before this invention, there was no low-material and extremely secure carrying format for all types of cartons - regardless of quantity or volume. A corrugated carrier cannot handle the broad range of volumes and quantities that the current retailed carton market demands. Even if a corrugated box was wrapped around quantities over 4 units of volumes over 500 ml, there is a substantial chance that the corrugated box will eventually collapse upon being carried. Currently, stores individually retail cartons weighing 500+ ml. As mentioned, the current corrugated box method is not specialized to independently secure each carton, which puts the corrugated carrier at a major disadvantage when handling quantities above 4 units and volumes above 500 ml. Heretofore, there has been no feasible multipack carrying solution to minimize material and maximize individual security all in one system.SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0084] Current corrugated carriers have an advantage of overall simplicity- the design requires minimal production complexity; however, the costs are still higher than they should be given the lack of overall security and product longevity. The carriers of the present invention (Figs. 1A- 11B) can cost less to produce than corrugated boxes regardless of the carton being used (Figs. 9A-9B). The present carrier is currently manufactured through a plastic extrusion system that recycles B2C plastics. So, it costs the same amount for any volume of cartons, as the materials are free. If a user wants a more substantial material design (Fig. 2J) or additional security cells (7A-7C), then the costs will slightly rise due to the increase in materials. Corrugated carriers have the following advantages: simplistic manufacturing requirements, flexible brand / logo customization, and compatibility with a range of carton types at lower volumes. However, the invention's (Figs. 1A-11B) foundation can be customized with logos / different colors, barcodes, instructions, and patterns as well. So, there is no real difference between either multipack method from a B2B personalization standpoint, besides detailed imaging on the carrier. Thedesign work typically provided on corrugated packaging uses harmful paints and coatings avoided by the low material system of the present invention. The invention's low material system, regardless of FST density (Figs. 3A,3B,3B1,3D), is designed to demonstrate unit packaging designs to obviate the need for external packaging designs. Furthermore, corrugated boxes are much flimsier than the systems of the invention (Figs. 1A-11B), are not weather resistant, lack individualized security systems, and, at times, use more harmful paints and materials. Additionally, once a corrugated box is opened, you typically cannot reuse the cells or reseal the box the same way. The invention (Figs. 1A-11B) can be used indefinitely upon personal disposal since the structure remains intact until one chooses to disassemble it for disposal. The corrugated carrier's longevity, flexibility, reusability, and capacity is nonexistent- it easily falls apart when wet, low weight tolerance, has minimal purpose upon opening, and low quantity capacity. In contrast, the invention accounts for all of these voids by evolving the current carrying system for packages of all kinds.
[0085] As mentioned, the prior art corrugated carrier structures fail to individually secure each individual carton within the carrier system structures themselves. U.S. Patent No. US3258288A, a multipack carrier for aluminum cans uses a baseless security system, but is designed to accommodate a different category of target containers. The carriers of the present invention uniquely and individually secure virtually all commercially produced cartons through a two-tier security system [(Fig. 3A-3D) (Fig. 4A-4J)] that can be independently or simultaneously deployed. The invention (Figs. 1A-11B) uses a clasping system for one specific type of aseptic, chilled carton without side flaps, illustrated in Fig. 3A1, that is naturally incorporated into the general FST feature on the carton's circumference or outer surface of the portion of the carton containing the fluid or contents. This is the only case where FST (Figs. 3A-3D) is utilized in an alternative fashion in addition to its primary use around the carton. Figs. 3A* and 3B1 illustrates that the FST (Figs. 3A-3D) are the same wall, with the same features, at different densities. All density levels are compatible with virtually all carton types, side flaps or no side flaps (Figs. 9A- 9B), by squeezing against the circumference or outer surface of the carton the same way, just at different depths. However, for the particular carton with a brim, the top of the carrierfoundation helps uphold the protruding brim into place within the cell. However, this additional security measure within the FST naturally developed during the development of the first tier of feature for the other types of cartons with or without side flaps - the Friction-Suction Feature, or FST, (Figs. 3A-3D) around the carton. As mentioned before, in Fig. 3A1, the compartmental walls catch the brim of the carton without side flaps to compensate for the elimination of the side flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J) all while the internal portions of the compartmental FST (Figs. 3A-3D) and pinch the circumference or outer surface of the carton through the two layers of specialized FST components depicted in Fig. 3C. This combination of both pressures within FST (Figs. 3A-3D) creates a suction-like relationship between the compartmental midsection and compartmental base once the carton is inserted (Fig. 3C). In corrugated multipack containers, the cartons are not individually secured within the corrugated box packaging itself, causing them to bounce around and break the carrier down from the inside out. The carrier (Figs. 1A-11B) tightly secures each carton through its feature two-tier feature [(Figs. 3A-3D) (Figs. 4A-4J)] during both the shipment and retail process. On top of providing maximum security, the invention simultaneously minimizes surface area through the low material foundation. As mentioned before, when accounting for cartons with caps, the current corrugated boxes are edited with punched holes to support the additional space for protruding caps. Our invention (Figs. 1A-11B) already accounts for all types of cartons through its low material structure without a base or ceiling. The user can request an optional indentation at location 14* to create more space for the cap; however, this indentation is not mandatory. Actually, removing location 14* fills in the entire external foundation, location 1, preventing the caps from falling through the compartmental cells 11. So, the inclusion of 14* only eases the removal process. While the foundation within the Figs. (Figs. 1A-11B) may appear visually different at times, each diagram originates from the same core foundation. The only differences are the levels of FST level (Figs. 3A-3D) and the flap-lock feature (Figs. 4A-4I), which does not alter the core system in place. All the optional embodiments and foundational variations only indicate variations of the same system, mainly to fulfill user preference. Moreover, the carrier foundation (Figs. 1A-11B) is configured for substantially all commercially produced cartons with both side flaps and no sideflaps — the two-tier feature of the present invention affords complete securement of eachindividual carton within the system. Some pouch designs like the far left diagram in Fig. 9B, are compatible with the invention's FST-only system. This invention is a system for carrying virtually all cartons worldwide. Both tiers of feature are specially designed to work separately or together within structural foundations to best accommodate the wide array of cartons with side flaps and without side flaps. Described later will be a security system that uses only one tier of feature (Fig. 3A1 or Fig. 9B) versus two tiers of feature (Figs. 1A-1D). Regardless of which security tiers are used, the carrier system always remains structurally similar to its original foundation.
[0086] The terms "carton", "container," and "package" are used interchangeably herein and are all applicable to the carriers and carrier systems of the present invention.
[0087] As illustrated in Figs. ID, 6A, 6B, 7A, 7B, and 7C, there are carton carrier systems 27, 28, 30, 32, and 34. The systems have one or more cartons 36 constructed of a plastic material and / or a paper-based material defining a receptacle therein capable of retaining a fluid and a carrier 20 including substantially perpendicularly disposed dividers 12 of a rigid material. The one or more cartons 36 define one or more pairs of opposing side flaps 38 extending externally from a remainder of the carton and contiguous thereto along an exterior surface(s) 40 thereof. The one or more cartons 36 define one or more openings therein through which the fluid can be dispensed or withdrawn. The dividers 12 define one or more cells 11 therein substantially rectangular or square in shape that receive and retain the one or more cartons 12 therein. At least two of the dividers 12 are opposing and define pockets 22 therein extending from upper surfaces 42 thereof that receive and retain the one or more pairs of opposing side flaps 38. The one or more pockets 22 at least partially open to the one or more cells 12 therein. Carriers and systems having pockets therein to receive cartons having side flaps are referred to herein alternately as having flap-lock features.
[0088] As illustrated in Figs. 1A to 1C, Figs 2A to 2F, 2H, 211, 212, 2J1, 2J2, and 4A to 412, there are embodiments of cartons 36 having primary pockets 22 with and without inner pockets 6. Primary pockets 22 are bounded by support walls 7, adjacent support walls 10, and ledges 26.Inner pockets 6, when present, are bounded by support walls 7, adjacent support walls 10, ledges 26 and security ridges 5. The aforementioned components of primary pockets 22 and inner pockets 6 are typically situated at substantially right angles with respect to one another. Security ridges 5 are typically situated parallel to support wall 7 but may situated so as to protrude from ledges 26 into cells 10 to increase resistance when cartons 36 are inserted or removed from carriers 20.
[0089] As illustrated herein in Figs. 1A-11B, there are other embodiments of carriers having substantially perpendicularly disposed dividers 12 of a rigid material. The dividers 12 can provide separation to various degrees. In Fig. 1A, the dividers are thinner due to reduction of divider material. However, the cellular shape is sb’ll preserved at the base as shown in Fig. 3B1. The dividers 12 define one or more cells 11 therein substantially rectangular or square in shape that receive and retain the one or more cartons 36 therein. At least two of dividers 12 are opposing and bear support walls 7 that are substantially convex or bulbous in shape and extend into and bound the one or more cells 11 and increase resistance to movement when the one or more cartons 36 are inserted or removed from the carrier.
[0090] Fig. 1A depicts the various handle insert options that can be utilized within the foundation. These handle locations are possible within all foundation variations; however, Figs. 1A-1D depict a foundation variation with insertable handle options. All insertable options are applicable on all foundation variations, and all fused handle options are possible on foundations with attachable handle inserts.
[0091] The multipack carrier of the present invention, its variations / embodiments thereof, and optional features and optional features are described in Figs. 1A-11B. The carrier is not limited to the visual depictions in the figures, as there may be variations within the scope of the invention. One embodiment of the carrier will be a low-material (reduced material) base-less carrier with security from all angles, reusability, eco-friendly capability, recyclability, weather resistibility, raw material durability, greater affordability (assuming manufacturing system uses a plastic or paper / cardboard recyclable extrusion system), more product visibility, and handleplacement versatility since the multipack system can be carried from all directions and angles without failure (Figs. 2A-2J). In instances where the carrier is produced with bagasse, cardboard, corrugated board, or paper pulps, an optional, all-natural water repellent coating can be applied to the surface to prevent infiltration to the foundation. However, the carrier structure itself is usually dense and / or rigid enough to maintain form and re-dry before breaking apart completely when exposed to rainfall. Furthermore, given the substantial security features of both security hers [(Figs. 3A-3D) / (Figs. 4A-4J)], the invention (Figs. 1A-11B) does not need a support base like typical commercial corrugated multipack carriers. Even in cases where only FST feature is deployed within the compartmental walls for cartons with or without side flaps [(Figs. 3A-3D) / (Figs. 9A-9B)], the compartmental feature can, independently, grasp or entrain any carton type at any volume from all angles using its squeeze and suction system.
[0092] The foundation variations described within Fig. 1, 21, and 2J ultimately are based on the same foundation for user preference. It is only occasionally recommended to use a higher FST (Figs. 3B, 3B1, or Fig. 2J) in circumstances where FST (Figs. 3A-3D) is independently used to secure a carton without side flaps (Fig. 3A1 / Fig. 9B). However, if the carton without side flaps has a brim, it can easily be secured by the compartmental FST system depicted in Fig. 3A1 through the low FST format in Fig. 3A*. If the carton with side flaps does not have a brim, the FST compartmental pressure will effectively hold the cartons in place anyways, regardless of volume or quantity. The intent of describing variations in Figs. 2-4J is to highlight the spectrum of embodiments with the two security features and the handle placements depicted in Figs. 1A- 11B. No one has ever utilized form-fitting friction-suction nor side feature flap-lock feature to secure the circumference, the side flaps, or both within an aseptic, chilled, or retortable carton. The invented carrier (Figs. 1-9) intends to be the first and only invention able to perform such a function for virtually all cartons with and without side flaps through its multifaceted low material system for these types of containers specifically, not aluminum cans or glass bottles. This two-tier feature [(Figs. 3A-3D) / (Figs. 4A-4J)] can be divided into two separate avenues of security that can be separately or simultaneously used depending on the carton. However, the feature is simultaneously used in over 92% of instances, which is why the majority of figuresdisplay both features in use. If the carton does not possess side flaps, the flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J) is removed and a stronger degree of FST, (Figs. 3A-3D) is typically described in Figs. 3B1 and Fig. 3B. As you can see within the additional sub-figure in Fig. 3A1, the flap lock is removed in the hybrid cell 2J / 2I to illustrate the interior of the cell when the feature flap-lock feature is removed. The compartmental wall midsection and the pinching ridge, described in Fig. 3C works independently within the pre-existing foundational system. While a corrugated box must be cut differently to accommodate different carton types, brands, or volumes, the invented foundation typically remains the same height and is fully compatible with all cartons with side flaps and 98.9% of cartons without side flaps. When accommodating a different carton type, nothing within the system is changed within the foundational system besides the foundational variation upon user desire. All foundations derive from the same foundation. They are just subsequent variations of FST densities (Figs. 3A-3D), flap feature variations, and handle placements. This fluctuation to support different volumes or dimensions is typically less than 1 inch latera lly / per 4 carton units. This is not always the case given the size of some containers. Moreover, the two- tier feature [(Figs. 3A-3D) / (Figs. 4A-4J)] ensures full-perimeter security of each individual carton and affords reusability if the carton is properly removed from the foundation.
[0093] The proposed invention (Figs. 1A-11B) for securing and carrying cartons both possesses and exceeds all of the positive features the current corrugated carrying system offers. The carton of the present invention (Figs. 1A-11B) is more economical, enhances the market's available security features, ensures recyclability / sustainability, promotes recyclability, and remedies fundamental and structural flaws of the multipack carrier market. With this invention (Fig. 1-9), carton carriers can reach the same technological levels as aluminum can and bottle carriers through the invention's unique components (Figs. 1A-11B) that provides the first baseless security system for all cartons instead of cans or bottles. A corrugated box cannot possess this same tailored success and individualized security. The invention establishes a fundamental two-tier security system [(Figs. 3A-3D) / (Figs. 4A-4J)] for cartons that can be either individually or simultaneously used to carry virtually all cartons. The two-tier security system [(Figs. 3A- 3 D) / (Figs. 4A-4J)] is configured in a way such that the second tier (Figs. 4A-4J) can be easilyremoved from the foundation to accommodate cartons without side flaps (Fig. 3A1). While the first tier (Figs. 3A-3D) secures the circumference or perimeter of cartons with or without side flaps, the second tier (Figs. 4A-4J) is an additional security measure to ensure maximum security for cartons, with side flaps from substantially all carrying angles.
[0094] One aim of the invention is to develop the low-material, secure, base-less, aseptic package. The invention (Figs. 1A-11B) offers an individualized security cell system for cartons through friction-suction (Figs. 3A-3D) and / or feature flap-lock feature (Figs. 4A-4J), if applicable. The provides a base-less carrying solution for cartons that may be visually similar to US US3258288A for carrying aluminum cans, but differs in overall functionality, feature, and purpose. In contrast to US3258288A, the present (Fig. 1A-11B) security system does not utilize any of the same security features from US3258288A nor does it focus on a carrying device for the same container type (i.e ., aluminum cans). As previously mentioned, the only time the clasping process is analogous to that of US3258288A is when a carton without side flaps is carried, as in Fig. 3A1. However, the clasping process depicted in Fig. 3A1 is a supplemental measure naturally incorporated into the compartmental walls FST system for all types of cartons, including those that are aseptic, chillable, and retortable. The feature was originally designed to only provide circumferential support; however, following its development the foundation proved to also upwardly support the protruding brim around the carton.
[0095] Moreover, the prior art corrugated carrier always relies on a cardboard base to prevent the cartons from falling through the carrier via gravitational force. This base is always present, regardless of the corrugated design or carton type. Observing the invention in Fig. 1, the invention does not have (or need) a support base to defend against gravitational pull because the carrier's friction-suction feature combined with the flap-lock feature prevents gravity from pulling the carton downward. When used in isolation, the friction-suction feature, FST, (Figs. 3A- 3D) is strong enough to support all cartons with side flaps and virtually all packages without side flaps. There is a specialized curvature system within each cell wall that squeezes against the circumference of the carton using the compartmental midsection (Fig. 3C), and pinches thecarton from an alternative angle at the base of the cells, which causes the cells to suction against the carton once inserted (Fig. 3C). If the carton has side flaps, the carton is first secured by the FST's suction pressure and then laterally secured through its side flaps by flap lock, (4G). The flap lock secures the side flaps through the insert region, location 6, the security ridge / wall, location 5, and the support wall, location 7. The carrier's multifaceted security system allows for the accommodation of all carton types and 360° security through the two tiers.
[0096] The carrier of the present invention is compatible with all raw materials for back-end production. The carrier can secure 4 to 52 cartons in a single carrier; for volumes of 150 ml to 3 liters; with both tiers of feature [(Figs. 3A-3D) (Figs. 4A-4J)]; through both perpendicular and parallel carrying methods (Figs. 2A-F) using paper pulp, bagasse, bioplastic, and rubber materials. Regardless of the level of friction-suction (Figs. 3A-3D) and flap lock security (Figs. 4A- 4J), the invention can secure any carton from any angle with the two tier security. Furthermore, the invention's multi-level security system is so strong, the carrier's maximum capacity is not even limited to 52 cartons. The testing stopped at 52 units because no one has ever desired a carrier holding this quantity or more. The invention held 52 cartons for a week straight through every handle method (Figs. 2A-2J) and angle without fail. These carriers can also be easily used during both B2B logistical transport and B2C sale / transport. Unlike the current corrugated carrier, the invention can hold any quantity and / or volume of packages, regardless of the base material being used for production with a versatile built-in handle system. Regarding quantity, there is no limit to the number of cells that can be added to this carrier foundation and the direction they are added. The cells can be added horizontally adjacent (Figs. 7B-7C) to the other cells or stacked on top of the pre-existing cells vertically (Fig. 7A). The invention's foundation is extremely versatile in accommodating additional cells regardless of the wall density / FST (Figs. 3A-3D).
[0097] The invention's foundation can be easily adjusted to accommodate different package types or volumes. Practically all packages with side flaps follow a square-like foundation. Sometimes, the containers with side flaps have a rounder or flatter look; however, the FST (Figs.3A-3D) can easily adjust to the carton's dimensions and wall curvature. Because all these cartons contain a similar core shape structure, it makes it incredibly easy to adjust the carrier foundation (Figs. 1A-11B) to properly match the respective carton type and volume. Furthermore, all carton side flaps are roughly the same dimensions at their inset location into the flap locks, allowing substantial alignment between the dimensions of the flap lock and the side flap. This is because the side flap proportionally increases when the carton increases ever so slightly. Since each cell is a substantial foundation for any carton with side flaps, when the carrier foundation is proportionally increased, the flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J) is proportionally increased as well. Regardless of the carton type, the side flap's shape and size remain relatively consistent at each volume, and the foundation naturally adjusts to these changes when the dimensions are changed for a certain carton. Put more simply, when a carrying foundation is created for a user, the carrier's foundation can be reused and modified each time since all cartons possess common features. When the carton does not have side flaps, the flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J) is not functional within the foundation. The invention encompasses a base-less carton carrying structure (Figs. 1A-11B), the friction-suction feature that secures the cartons perimeter (Figs. 3A-3D), the side-flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J) used to secure all packages with side flaps, the optional foldable / detachable option for the carton (Figs. 5A-5B1), the ability to adjust the cell dimensions and arrangement to best fit a particular package (Figs. 6A-6B), and all dimensional variations (Figs. 9A-9B). container The term "base-less" means that the carrier system does not require a common support or frame underneath the cartons to stabilize them for carrying. An example of a base is a box or container used to ship or transport cartons to a destination. While the carrier system of the present invention can be transported in a box or container to a destination, a user, e.g., a person, can carry or transport the carrier system by hand independently, e.g., out of the box or container or without a box or container.
[0098] Regardless of the carton's dimensions, the form-fitting feature / FST (Figs. 3A-3D) can substantially adjust to different cells, and the dimensions substantially wrap around and press upon the carton's circumference or perimeter. The adjustments to the curvature within the cell walls beholds a matrix of different coordinates that naturally emerge when the carrierfoundation's dimensions, L x W x H, are set to those specific metrics. The FST is programmed to proportionally change in the appropriate way when the length, width, and heights are adjusted within the carrier's foundation. Since most cartons follow the same foundational shape and side flap dimensions, the carrier's FST (Figs. 3A-3D) can easily adjust to any package with side flaps or without side flaps. It should be noted that embodiments of the invention illustrated in Figs. 1A-11B are directed to a carrier's functions with both features active in order to display the two tier security aspect. Moreover, it should be assumed Figs. 3 and 4 can be used independently to carry all carton types without side flaps. Fig. 3A1 provides a visual of what the cell walls look like with only one tier of feature, FST. Fig. 2J illustrates the invention's material-level, or FST (Figs. 3A-3D) variation, for cartons with side flaps. The same material-level used in Fig. 2J is also used in instances for cartons without flap locks, except the flap lock is entirely removed. Figs. 2J illustrate a polar position of each tier in the technological spectrum to display the contrast of each feature tier. Moreover, this tier of feature's (Figs. 3A-3D) maximum independent carrying weight for a set of 4 cartons is only 35,000 ml / 4-pack compared to 50,000 ml / 4-Pack when including the flap-lock feature (Figs. 4A-4J), because the flap locks secures the carton indefinitely versus temporarily until the carrier loses friction (typically over a span of 8-12 months, depending on unit weight). Each tier of security is shown independently, as each is capable of securing substantially all cartons, with or without side flaps, currently commercial. However, the combination of both security tiers allows for extensive security and maximum versatility from any angle or carrying style for all cartons with side flaps. Possibly, the second tier does not need to be applied if carried carefully; however, it adds the 'indefinite' factor to the invention's carrying abilities for cartons with side flaps. Ultimately, any base-less carrier using an incorporated squeeze-format (Figs. 3A-3D) to grip the circumference of a package and / or a side flap lock security (Figs. 4A-4J) should be within the scope of the invention's multi-tier feature system. Within the limitations, it is emphasized that the invention is not limited to just packages with side flaps because of the easy removal of the flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J) from the core foundation in Fig. 3A1. For the sake of simplicity, the Figs. (1, 21, and 2J) only depict carriers with both security tiers [(Figs. 3A-3 D) / ( Figs. 4A-4J)] because the individual Figs, encapsulate all the possible functional combinations the two independent features can achieve together. The onlytime the flap lock is completely removed is in Fig. 3A1 where the insertion procedure for a carton without side flaps is illustrated.
[0099] Unlike a corrugated carrier, the invention is flexible with technological variations, material levels, raw material types, carrying method, reusability, recyclability, material minimization, and dimensions / quantities.[000100] The invention (Figs. 1A-11B) relates to a carrier system compatible with substantially all container brands and types. When observing the figures for reference, any bold number with parentheses is also a figure that's chronologically numbered the same within the figure list. If the number in the figure does not have parentheses, it relates to a component or part of the carrier or carrier system in Figs. 1A-11B. If a labeling location has an asterisk (*), it is an optional embodiment or feature.[000101] The first tier of features is deployed for all cartons of Figs. 3A to 3D, and the second tier of feature is deployed for cartons with side flaps (Figs. 4A to 4J), the majority of commercialized cartons. Cartons with side flaps are illustrated in Fig. 9A. As mentioned, the invention is not limited to cartons with or without side flaps, because the carrier's feature two- tier feature [(Figs. 3A-3D) (Figs. 4A-4J)] is specialized to systematically accommodate cartons of both kinds. This invention specifically secures virtually all cartons. Furthermore, this invention relates to carrying container carriers for cartons used for beverages, foods, and all other retailed fluids. This invention is not limited to carrying any specific type of contents within the packages. This invention is not limited to carrying any specific quantity, dimension, or weights of cartons. The maximum tested weight for the two-tier feature is 50,000 ml per 4 containers with excellent results.[000102] A handle(s) can be inserted or fused to possibly any location on the carrier, as shown in the embodiments in Figs. 2A-J. Furthermore, the handle placements are not even limited to these locations on the foundation. If the user wants a placement beyond the scope provided in 2A-2J, it can be completed given the 360° security. The foundation should not belimited to these handle designs since Figs. 2A-2J attempt to depict the general scope of carrying embodiments for the security system. While the present application is partially directed to the core security components stabilizing the carton without a base, the carrying functions incorporated within the carrier's foundation are important to display the foundation's carrying versatility. This can include the carrier's ability to be held both parallel (Figs. 2D-2H) and perpendicular (Figs. 2A-2C) to the ground. Parallel option 2D is a built-in finger-indentation to offer affordable carrying measures. A user could also insert a string / rope into the holes at the handle insert locations for a low material carrying format as well. Because the individual security for each carton is so strong, there is flexibility regarding the handle placement, hence why there are so many possible locations incorporated into the foundation. Moreover, all of these hand options can be removed, and a fused handle option can, instead, be deployed for additional stability. Ultimately, the carrier of the present invention is not limited to one type of handle placement. Part of the foundation's uniqueness is its ability to offer multiple handle inserts that can also be fused into the carrier as well, if desired. The carrier's handle placement should be inclusive of all possible options, locations, and designs.[000103] The carrier of the present invention can be produced through 3D mold processing, various different mold injections, heat press molds, wet press molds, or other manufacturing processes. The invention has had excellent success with large-batch 3D printing: however, there are multiple avenues for manufacturing. Useful production materials can vary from molded or 3D printed bioplastics, plastics, sugar cane pulp, cardboard pulp, paper pulp blends, corrugated board, and rubbers. The strongest material observed has been recycled plastics / rubbers, but the carrier is not limited to these materials. The carrier can be easily adjusted to all packaging via digital modeling during production to adjust the foundation's cells 11 to fit any carton type and volume desired. Instead of needing to purchase a new mold for each carton, the invention's foundation can, instead, be digitally adjusted prior to printing. The only changes within the carrier foundations between users, per 4 cartons, are the LxW dimensions (Figs. 9A-9B). Because all cartons possess a boxy core shape, the foundation is easily adjustable without needing to recreate the foundation anew. In addition to the LxW dimension,users can request different two-tier feature variations [(Figs. 3A-3D) / (Figs. 4A-4J)], different handle placements (Figs. 2A-2J), and optional embodiments (Figs. 5A-B1, 6A-6B, 7A-7C, and 8B1).[000104] Figs. 1A-11B have been constructed with bioplastics, bagasse pulp, card boa rd / pa per pulp, aluminum foil / soft metals, rubbers / plastics with great success. When looking at all quantities / dimensions, the carrier's typical height ranges between .5 -1.65 inches, and ranges from 2-8 inches / 4-units in width or length depending on carton type, size, volume, and quantity. However, the foundation is not limited to a minimum or maximum height, width, or length. The height of the package normally remains the same; however, the FST density within the gaps may change depending on user preference. More FST allows for a simple flap lock design, depicted in 2J with the fused handle options 2J1 / 2J2. When holding 200 ml cartons, Fig. l's 1 dimensions are 99 mm wide x 99 m long x 20 mm tall. However, these dimensions change depending on the package type and volume. The carrier can be modified so the cells 11 secure any carton's perimeter with both side flaps and no side flaps. If there is no side flap, the lock (Figs. 4A-4J) can be simply removed. Note that these figure's dimensions are not limiting, and dimensions and features change based on the requirements of a carton (Fig. 9A-9B). Hence, there are variations in both feature tiers in Figs. 1A-11B. Once the user identifies the package they want a carrier for, the core foundation (Figs. 1A-11B) is adjusted to fit the new carton's dimensions, and the entire security process is now replicated for a new carton's dimensions by simply changing the LxWxH. There are reasons why this carrying structure is new for all commercial packages. One reason is these packages all possess similar polygonal foundations that fit into the friction-suction compartmental cells once the foundation's dimensions are adjusted. Regardless of the carton type, their use of slide flaps, or the foundation variation (Fig.1, 21, or 2J) the compartmental walls substantially fit around every carton. The only requirement to adjust the foundation across each carton type is a simple adjustment to the LxWxH dimensions. From a structural perspective, nothing within the system changes. And naturally, regardless of how the dimensions are adjusted, all carton types with side flaps fit like a key into the flap lock inserts (Figs. 4A-4J) once the foundation is properly adjusted to the carton'sdimensions. Every time the carrier is adjusted, the flap lock and security feature within the input hole is always proportionally adjusted to the carton type. Everything is purposefully metrically proportional for feasible compatibility.[000105] The present invention covers carriers for containers of different volumes and dimensions and is compatible with virtually all commercial containers. Regardless of the size and shape, as long the respective carton has a boxy or polygonal foundation, the carton is compatible. The FST (Figs. 3A-3D) combined with the side latch feature (Figs. 4A-4J) have achieved excellent results for many types of packages with side flaps, regardless of volume, dimension, carrier material, quantity carried, or carton brand. For substantially all compatible cartons without side flaps, the invention showed efficacy using only FST (Figs. 3A-3D) within the compartment walls of the foundation. The following shows relationship of features and optional features of the invention with respect to the figures:[000106] I. Base-less Carrier Foundation Variations (Figs. 1, 21, and 2J)[000107] II. 360° Handle Options (Figs. 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F, 2G, and 2H)[000108] III.

Universal Compatibility with virtually all Cartons (Figs. 9A-9B)[000115] X. Complete Raw Material and Manufacturing Flexibility Including Corrugated Boards (Figs. 10A-10B).[000116] An aspect of this invention is on the carrier's core functionality for all cartons. The carrier's carrying versatility and optional embodiments are shown in Figs. 1A-11B. A focusof the invention is the entire security process and optional add-ins that are shown variously in the depicted embodiments. As shown in Figs. 1A-11B, the core system for securing these cartons always remains systematically identical, but the visual design components can change depending on user design preference or functional recommendations. Because variations exist, the act of securing these cartons through their side flaps to create a base-less carrier system is within the scope of the present invention within this same market space. Moreover, the specialized features within the compartmental cells to secure and stabilize the entire spectrum of cartons through a single base foundation is within the scope of the present invention for carton carriers.[000117] Moreover, the features presented in Figs. 3A-3D and 4A-4H, are incorporated into foundations 1, 21, and 2J. The instance in which flap locks are not included for certain cartons without side flaps is Foundation 4, Fig. 3D. Furthermore, these two security features, Figs. 3A- 3D and 4A-4J never change in core utility but sometimes change in visual design. They perform the same basic function. The intention of these variations is to show the many ways the side flap or the carton's FST can be applied. Moreover, the core foundation of the carrier depicted in Fig. 1 can be adjusted back to its high material form at any time described Figs. 2J or further reduced in material to Fig. 21. Fig. 1, 21, Fig. 2J, and even Figs. 5A-B1, 6A-6B, and 7A-7C all originate from the same aseptic security cell system. However, the cells can be arranged for user preference (6A-6B). Hence, Figs. 1A-11B show different embodiments of the present security cell system. The foundation can be adjusted through different handle insert options (Figs. 2A- 2J), FST levels (Figs. 3A-3D), flap-lock feature variation (Figs. 4A-4J), optional detachable / foldable functions (Fig. 5A-5B1), cell arrangements (Figs. 6A-6B), additional cell adjustments (Fig. 7A-7C), and dimensional cell adjustments (Figs. 9A-9B). None of these adjustments affect the core security systems within the security cells.[000118] Unlike aluminum cans, commercial cartons have a wide spectrum of dimensions and volumes. While dimensions and volume of cartons may vary, the core foundation and features that secure the packaging remain the same, the friction-suction feature (Figs. 3A-3D) and flap lock features (Figs. 4A-4J). When the foundation is adjusted to accommodate differentdimensions, both technological tiers are especially designed to be in proportional alignment with all types of cartons. The scope of the invention includes the features behind base-less carrier systems for cartons - regardless if one feature or both features are used. While both features are complimentary in a seting for cartons with side flaps, the first tier of feature, FST (Fig. 3A-3D and 4A-4J), is specially equipped to secure cartons without side flaps without the need of the second security feature (Fig. 4A-4J).[000119] Fig. 2A shows the carrier of Fig. 1A with a side handle. The side handle can be inserted on either side of the carrier. For heavy cartons and large quantities, two handles can be added, one on either side, for double support.[000120] Fig. 2B shows the carrier of Fig. 1A with another variant of a side handle. The side handle of Fig. 2B can be inserted on either side of the carrier. For heavy cartons and large quantities, two handles can be added, one on either side, for double support.[000121] Fig. 2C shows the carrier of Fig. 1A with another variant of a side handle. The handle in Fig. 2C can be inserted on either side of the carrier. For heavy cartons and large quantities, two handles can be added, one on either side, for double support. Fig. 2C is not limited to a specific design or quantity of handles inserted.[000122] Fig. 2D shows the carrier of Fig. 1A with another variant of a handle. This handle is embedded into the carrier as indented grooves on both sides. 2D serves as a cost-effective built-in handle concept for practically all retailed quantities for volumes less than or equal to 500 ml. When the individual cartons weigh 500+ ml and quantity exceeds 4+, an alternative handle method is required. Fig. 2D also serves as a ball-and-socket insert for the Fig. 2E top-side handle. Fig. 2D is not limited to a design or particular location.[000123] Fig. 2E shows the carrier of Fig. 1A with a top handle. The handle of Fig. 2E is inserted into the indention point where 2D is located.[000124] Fig. 2F shows the carrier of Fig. 1A with another variant of a top handle. Fig 2F can also collapse downward to maximize vertical shelf-space through an optional col la psibi lity add-in component located at Figure 8B*.[000125] Fig. 2G shows the carrier of Fig. 1A with another variant of a top handle. The handle of Fig. 2G can be one solid handle or two parts connected together at the center.[000126] Fig. 2H shows the carrier of Fig. 1A with another variant of a top handle. 2H can be one solid handle or two parts connected together at the center.[000127] Fig. 211 shows the carrier of Fig. 1A with only the top handle inserts of Figs. 2D- 2H.[000128] Fig. 212 shows the carrier of Fig. 1A with only the top handle inserts of Figs. 2D- 2H.[000129] When considering the carrier's handle (Figs. 2A-2J), the handle can either be fused, bolted, or inserted into the sides. The insertable handle (Figs. 2A-2H) options allow for both foldability (Fig. 2A-2C) and colla psibility (Fig. 8B*). As previously mentioned, each plugged / bolted-in option (Figs. 2A-2H) can be fused or vice versa. The bolted handles can also be engineered with built in knobs on the handle that naturally click into the circular holes at the provided insert zones at Figs. 2A-H. We just illustrated knobs in the general Fig. 2 sub-Figs. to include both what bolted and snap-fit handle inserts would look like when assembled. The invention is not limited to these handle designs, but the figures display the widest array of handle inputs for the carrier's full 360° security capabilities. There are also more cost effective or low material handle options for users already incorporated into the carrier as well. For instance, (2D / 2E) on Fig. 1 and 21, or separate Figs. 2D and 2E, is a hybrid function that either serves as a finger indentation handle (2D) or a ball-and-socket joint (2E) for a top handle insert. Finger pincher 2D is only usable for cartons under 750 ml because of the dimensional challenges of reaching the indentations with one hand. Moreover, the holes on each side can be removed if a top handle insert is chosen to reduce total material, as described in Fig. 21. Here, the userchooses a top handle insert option and wants to minimize costs by lowering material so side handle inserts 2A, 2B, and 2C are eliminated from the foundation. In an instance where the user does not want a handle, they can keep one set or all sets of circular holes beside the insertable zones (2A-2G) in place to slide a string or rope in from whichever direction. While a handle is optional, it can, if desired, be placed in a number of locations around the carrier.[000130] Fig. 3A shows a close-up of the carrier's front and rear cell walls also depicted in Fig. 1A and Figs. 211 / 212. Fig. 3A is present, alongside Figs. 3B-3D, to illustrate the different FST levels a security cell can behold. Regardless of the FST's cellular activity (Figs 3A, 3B, & 3D), the cell wall performs the same friction and suction funchons depicted in Fig 3C. 3A represents low FST activity because the flap lock effectively secures the carton on its own; therefore, the FST is mainly present to stabilize and correctly position the carton. When flap locks are either less complex or deleted from the foundation, the FST tier is amplified to compensate for less flap lock security. This spectrum of variability is also present in Figs. 3B & 3D. Fig. 3B uses a less complex flap lock and increases the FST components within the cell. Fig 3D is the polar opposite foundation variation of Fig. 3A, because Fig. 3D lacks the flap lock security tier and maximizes the FST levels. This foundation variation is only used for 2 types of pouches / cartons that do not possess side-flaps. When the second tier of features is not present, the first tier of features is solely deployed to grip these alternative carton forms. All cell walls, Figs. 3A,3B, & 3D bear a convex surface for the application of squeeze-suction to a carton. The level of FST depends on the flap lock used, the individual unit volume, & total packaged quantity. Moreover, the base of the cell has a slight protrusion that creates the suction effect when combined with the friction within the compartmental midsection (Fig. 3C).[000131] Fig. 3A1 shows the application of FST-only security feature for brimmed cartons without side flaps 38. With FST only, the carrier is only utilizing one tier of the security system's features because the carton subjected to carrying is without side flaps. Theoretically, all foundations in Figs. 1-11 can be simplified to an FST-only foundation by removing or not including the flap lock; however, the flapless carton's compatibility with each differentfoundation variation depends on its individual volume (or < 750 ml) with the flap lock (Fig. 4A- 4J) subsequently converted to variation 4H, 4G, or a connective wall. This upward lift component is naturally embedded into the foundation of the present carrier system and counters the downward gravitational force of the flapless carton by catching the brim regardless of the container's volume. Because brimmed flapless cartons do not require maximum FST-only security (Fig. 3D), this leaves a small market segment of commercial cartons without a brim or flaps that still need a viable variation of the foundation's security features. The specific FST level chosen for the brimless and flapless cartons will ultimately lie within the range from foundation 1 (Fig. 1A-1D) to foundation 4 (Fig. 3D1-D4). This small market segment includes two possible families of cartons - milk cartons and rectangular pouches. Since pouches are generally retailed in individual unit volumes below 750 ml each, these pouches are compatible with foundation variations in Figs. 1A-9B with the flap lock technology, FLT, (Figs. 4A-4J) converted to an adjoining wall. For milk cartons individually weighing under 750 ml, maximum a FST-only foundation is not required; therefore, foundational variations in Figs. 1A-9B are compatible with the flap lock removed. However, for individual milk cartons greater than 750 ml, a maximum FST-only foundation, depicted in Fig 3D1-3D4, is required for stable security performance. FST is ultimately a matrix of proportional cellular convexities that adjust with the foundation's dimensional changes. From there, the natural convexities can be reduced or maximized in density or curvature prominence.[000132] Among globally retailed cartons, cartons that need the carriers of Figs. 3D1-3D3, are milk cartons of volume 750+ ml. Milk cartons below 750 ml are compatible with foundations 1-4 in their FST-only format. This is less than 1% of all retailed cartons. Because of the variability across different cartons, our system uses two tiers of features that guarantee security across all cartons types as long as the two tiers of features can be independently or simultaneously utilized within the same foundation. The first tier is optionally used within the foundation, while the second tier is used for most retailed cartons, because most possess unique side-flaps. When side-flaps are not present, the first tier of features maximizes its friction and squeeze components through FST density and convexity compensate for no flap lock. However, becausecertain cartons without side-flaps have an embedded brim, such as those of Fig. 3A1, depict how the carton's brim locks into the top of the compartment cells once inserted. Figs. 1A-1D is compatible in this case; however, the flap lock should be reduced to part of the cell wall because there are no flaps to secure. Lastly, the only foundational limitation for brimless cartons without side-flaps is the Fig. 10A alternative raw material foundation variation using corrugated boarding. The base-less corrugated board variation requires both tiers of features because the FST components are too weak. The only exception are the brimmed flapless cartons, depicted in Fig. 3A1. The natural upward-lift mechanism embedded into the foundation is a byproduct of the invention's 'open-ended' ceiling - allowing for the carton to push through the insertion hole, i.e., cells 11, until it reaches its specific point of security within the cellular structure.[000133] Fig. 3B depicts an alternative variation of a frontal wall of a foundation of a carrier of the present invention. This should be the assumed depth of the foundation's rear wall as well. Similar to how Fig. 3A's association is to Foundation's 1 and 2 (Figs. 1A-1D and 211-212), Fig. 3B is synonymous with the cell walls illustrated in foundation 3 (Fig 2J1 / 2J2). Fig. 3B, in association with Figs. 2J1 / 2J2, provides a medial combination between FST and FLT within the carrying system's range of features. While Fig. 3A depicts a low FST density within the frontal and rear walls with low convexity prominence, Fig.3 B depicts a fuller FST density and more robust curvature presence within the cellular midsection. Additionally, the base protrusion that forms the suction is amplified in this variation through adjustments to the curvature's amplitude / prominence. When the cells are adjusted to a different cell, the FST matrix's average density x prominence levels proportionally adjust with the dimensional changes. However, depending on user preference or FLT complexity, the baseline FST metrics (density x prominence) can be amplified or reduced either together or separately. Above, in Fig. 3A's section, FST activity levels are specified and Fig. 3B is revealed to be 66.66% density and 55% curvature prominence. This means that the overall FST density increased from 33.33% -> 66.66% when the front / rear cell walls increased in overall depth, but the embedded curvatures within the internal portion of the cells were naturally amplified with the increased cellular depth, subsequently creating more mid-sectional friction & base suction (Fig. 3C). The marginaldensity changes between Fig. 3A (Figs. 1A-1D & 211-212) and Fig. 3B (Figs. 2J1 / 2J2) is primarily stemmed from added depth (+25.75%) but amplified convexity prominence also increased the overall density levels for Fig 3B. Because of this increase, the different FST functions are more clearly aligned to Fig. 3C versus Fig. 3A's reduced FST format. In the instances of Fig. 3B or Fig. 2J1 / 2J2, Foundation 3 (Fig. 2J) possesses FLT, so it does not require any more than Fig. 3B's FST activity level of 66.66%. Fig. 3B (Fig. 2J1 / 2J2) is simply meant to help solidify the notion that there are practically infinite variations of both security features, FST & FLT, within the relationship range between FST and FLT. While the walls of Figs. 3A and 3B perform the same funebons, they perform them at different levels due to the external factors, primarily with respect to the flap lock variation or user preference.[000134] By way of example, FST density and convexity prominence are provided for the following figures:Figs. 3A / 3A1 (Figs. 1A-1D and 211-212) = 33.33% FST density and 33.33% convexity prominence;Fig. 3B (Fig. 2J1-2J2) = 66.66% FST density and 55% convexity prominence;Fig. 3C = 75% FST density and 75% convexity prominence; andFig. 3D (Fig. 3D1-3D4) = 99.99% FST cellular density 99.99% convexity prominence.[000135] Fig. 3B1 depicts a set of walls of a foundation of a carrier of the present invention that contain the FLT. Fig. 3B1 represents the lateral cell walls that would typically possess the FLT. However, these cell walls do not always need to possess a flap lock, as depicted in Figs. 3D1- 3D3. If the subject carton is a flapless milk carton individually weighing 750+ ml, a maximum FST-only system (Figs. 3D1-3D3) is utilized and the four walls are all reverted to their original shapes before the implementation of the flap lock (Fig. 4A-4J). If the carton without side-flaps has a brim, all foundations within Figs. 1A-11B can be utilized in their original variations. The only change is that the flap lock is converted into an adjoining wall, similar to Fig. 3A1. Fig. 3Bl's depth typically remains the same; however, the wall is not limited to its current dimensions. The wall surrounding the flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J) could possibly be reduced to Fig. 3A's density levels;however, the current dimensions are used to help stabilize the carton upon insertion even when using the carrier of Fig. 3A.[000136] Fig. 3C is a schematic representation of the FST friction and suction components within the cellular walls of some embodiments of the present invention. Fig. 3C uses approximately 75% density and 75% convexity prominence, but has an exaggerated base protrusion to help show the production of "suction" between the base protrusion and the compartmental midsection. Depending on the level of FLT (Figs. 4A-4J) used, the level of FST can vary, as depicted in Figs. 3A, 3B, and 3D.[000137] Fig. 3D1 shows a single-cell embodiment of a carrier system of the present invention when using only friction-suction without FLT. For certain instances of milk cartons weighing 750+ ml, exaggerated FST components maximize friction and suction to offset the absence of flap lock security. This embodiment shows a maximized FST-only feature through a singular cell.[000138] Fig. 3D2 shows an embodiment of a carrier of the present invention using only friction-suction without FLT. Fig. 3D2 shows the base-less carrying system when the flap-lock feature (Figs. 4A-4J) is not present. In specific cases for milk cartons weighing 750+ ml, maximum FST (Fig. 3D) optimizes mid-sectional friction and base suction in order to offset the loss of the flap lock feature. Below 750 ml, milk cartons are compatible in all foundation embodiments, Figs. 1A-9B, but not compatible with corrugated boarding foundation variation in Fig. 10A-10B. Fig. 3D2 shows the FST-only variation through a collection of 4 cells to create a 4-pack carrying system.[000139] Fig. 3D3 shows an embodiment of a carrier using only friction-suction without FLT. Fig. 3D2 is a bottom view of the base-less carrying system without the flap-lock technology (Figs. 4A-4J). Fig. 3D2 is the same collection of 4 FST-only security cells illustrated in Fig. 3D2.[000140] Fig. 3D4 and Fig. 3D5 are embodiments of a carrier of the present invention using both friction-suction (FST) and flap lock (FLT) features. The figures show substantiallyperpendicularly disposed dividers 12 of a rigid material forming foundation 1 and side handle 2. The dividers 12 define cells 11 therein substantially rectangular or square in shape that receive and retain cartons (not shown) therein. Dividers 12 bear support walls 7 that are substantially convex or bulbous in shape and extend into and bound cells 11 and increase resistance to movement when cartons are inserted or removed. Support walls 7 also define flap locks therein having a pocket 6 / 9 bounded by security ridges 5, adjacent support walls 10, and lateral guides 8.[000141] The terms "pocket" and "pouch" are used interchangeably herein.[000142] Fig. 4A shows a pouch within the support wall capable of receiving a side flap of a carton. In the case of Fig. 4A, this flap lock variation always possesses an insertion hole. This means the point of the insertion, 6, (pocket 6) for the carton's latera l / side flaps is a hole of some form. 4A can be illustrated as any type of embedded hole, sleeve, slit, entry, or gap embedded directly into the cellular wall for a base-less carton carrier. There is a literal gap within the cell walls that catches the side-flaps on their way downward.[000143] Fig. 4B1 shows a flap lock with a non-protruding security ledge without an inner pocket and having one central and two lateral support walls for additional stability. 4B1 evolves the sleeve in Fig. 4A into a ledge with central spacing that allows the side-flap to expand outwards and onto the ledge.[000144] Fig. 4B2 shows another non-protruding security ledge with an insert hole capable of receiving a side flap of a carton. 4B2 evolves the overall security within 4B1 through the flap lock's final method of locking. In the case of Fig. 4B1, the side-flap sits on the solid ledge and primarily stabilizes the flaps through up-lift force in collaboration with the FST. However, in Fig. 4B2, the ledge is equipped with an insert hole that allows the flap to lock into the hole itself when the flaps naturally expand a bit to "breath" in the gap above the insertion hole. This adds an additional level of security within the flap lock for less complex flap lock designs by lockingthe lateral flaps into place from all directions through its own cellular system primarily supplied at locations 5, 6, 7 , and 10.[000145] Fig. 4C1 shows another pouch with a protruding security ledge with an insert hole and having a support wall capable of receiving a side flap of a carton. Fig. 4C1 expands on variation 4B2 with the addition of a protruding ledge to further reinforce the surrounding FST security, especially for lower-density foundation embodiments.[000146] Fig. 4C2 shows another pouch with a protruding security ledge and without an insert hole and having a support wall capable of receiving a side flap of a carton. Fig. 4C2 expands on variation 4B1 through addition of a protruding ledge to enhance surrounding FST security.[000147] Fig. 4D1 shows another protruding security ledge structure without an insert hole and having a support ridge capable of receiving a side flap of a carton. Fig. 4D1 shows pocket 1, 6. Fig. 4D1 expands on variation 4C2 by adding a ridge to the front of the protruding ledge, creating a pocket on the rear side of the ledge with a solid base indicating there is no insert hole.[000148] Fig. 4D2 shows a protruding security ledge with an insert hole and having a low support ridge and capable of receiving a side flap of a carton. Fig. 4D2 expands on variation 4D1 where the rear side portion of the protruding security ledge offers a solid security platform as well as an insert hole for maximum lateral flap security. Similar to Fig. 4D2, these ridge variations are not limited to a protruding ledge for the flap lock. No protrusion is necessarily required for either 4D1 or 4D2.[000149] Fig. 4E1 shows another non-protruding security ledge with an insert hole, having a low support wall, and capable of receiving a side flap of a carton. To solidify the notion that protrusion is not a limitation for these ridge and wall type flap locks, Figs 4E1, and 4E2, show non-protruding ledge variations. In the ledge of Fig. 4E1, 4D2's ridge support is developed into alow-depth security wall. Behind the wall is an insert hole that is further secured by the increased height of the security wall.[000150] Fig. 4E2 shows a non-protruding security ledge without an insert hole and having a low support wall and capable of receiving a side flap of a carton. The security ledge of Fig. 4E2 borrows from 4Dl's ridge support as a low-depth security wall. Behind the wall is a solid platform that stops the side flap's insertion depth at a certain point. This variation with a solid platform may be used if the user wants to disrupt the glue adhering the late ra l / side flaps to the carton's central body.[000151] Fig. 4F1 shows another protruding security ledge with a medium security wall with an insert hole capable of receiving a side flap of a carton. The security ledge of Fig. 4F1 borrows from 4E1 by introducing the protruding feature and increasing the height of the security wall. This security wall level would be typically the maximum ledge height used for commercial non-age-restricted fluids and beverages.[000152] Fig. 4F2 shows a non-protruding security ledge without an insert hole having a medium support wall capable of receiving a side flap of a carton. Fig. 4F2 borrows from 4E2 by increasing the height of the security wall. This security wall level is typically the maximum ledge height used for commercial, non-age-restricted fluids.[000153] Fig. 4G1 shows a top view of a non-protruding security ledge, with an insert hole, and having a high support wall capable of receiving a side flap of a carton. Fig. 4G1 borrows from 4F1 by increasing the height of the security wall. This flap lock design is appropriate typically, but limited to, non-consumables and age-restricted fluids.[000154] Fig. 4G2 shows a frontal view of a protruding security ledge, with an insert hole, and having a high support wall capable of receiving a side flap of a carton. Fig. 4G2 borrows from 4F2 by increasing the height of the security wall and adding protrusion to create more flap-lock variability. This flap lock design is typically, but limited to, non-consumables and age- restricted fluids and beverages.[000155] Fig. 4H1 shows a non-protruding security ledge without an insert hole having a high support wall and capable of receiving a side flap of a carton. This flap lock variation is not limited to a non-protruding security ledge.[000156] Fig. 411 shows a hybrid deep ridge without an insert hole and with a high support wall with a rear-side insert hole capable of receiving a side flap of a carton. Fig. 41 hybridizes the use of both low and high security walls as well as insert holes and solid pocket bases. The frontal portion of the flap lock is designed like pockets with lower security walls. The frontal pocket in Fig. 411 has a solid insert base; however, the frontal pocket can have an insert hole too. The rear-side pocket represents the higher security insertion option illustrated. The rear side pocket has an insert hole.[000157] Fig. 412 shows a top view of the pouch of Fig. 411. The rear-side pocket has an insert hole.[000158] Fig. 4J shows a flap lock having a corrugated board capable of receiving a side flap of a carton. The flap lock technology, or FLT, and its security functions are the same whether the carrier is manufactured through a molding, stamping, 3D printing, or corrugating process. The molded embodiments in Figs. 4A-4I can structurally be applied to a corrugated boarding format as well. Figure 4J shows a corrugated format of the hybridized flap lock design shown in Fig. 41. The carrier of Fig. 4J varies in its raw material origins versus those of the other figures.[000159] Figs. 4K1 and 4K2 shows close-up views of a wall 7 having both friction-suction (FST) and flap lock (FLT) features. Dividers 12 of a rigid material forming foundation 1. Wall 7 is bulbous in shape and defines a flap lock therein capable of receiving a side flap of a carton (not shown).[000160] Dividers 12 define cells 11 therein substantially rectangular or square in shape that receive and retain cartons therein. Support walls 7 also define flap locks therein having a pocket 6 / 9 bounded by security ridges 5, adjacent support walls 10, and lateral guides 8. In Fig.4K2, pocket 6 / 9 does not have a bottom, i.e., defines a hole or cell through wall 7 and foundation 1, such that a side flap of a carton can extend through and into and the hole or cell.[000161] Fig. 5A shows a carrier that is foldable. This is an optional embodiment within the carrying system to ease logistical transport and / or shelf space dimensions. The carrier is folded in half, 180°, at the folding point located at 5A. The folding point is secured at the base by a detachment point identical to the processes used for cellular detachment in Fig. 5B. The cells are disconnected and reconnected at this detachment point.[000162] Fig. 5B shows a carrier that is detachable along one axis. This is another optional embodiment of the carrying system. Instead of aiding the folding process in Fig. 5B, the folding point at 5A is removed and the inserts at 5B allow for full axis detachment. The detachment inserts have very fine lateral grooves that naturally lock with the grooves when inserted like a key. These grooves are naturally made during the manufacturing process. Carriers with other than four cells are possible.[000163] Fig. 5C shows a carrier that is detachable along another axis. This is another optional function that can be used simultaneously with Fig. 5B or independently on a single axis opposite of Fig. 5B. When used simultaneously with Fig 5B, Fig. 5C provides bi-axis cellular detachment. Fig. 5C allows for all cells within the base-less carrying system to detach and reattach from themselves during production, transport, or sale. Carriers with other than four cells are possible.[000164] Fig. 6A shows a carrier system using the carrier of Fig. 2J. This is an optional embodiment. Fig. 6A shows an alternative arrangement of security cells within the same carrying system as Fig 2J. The use of the foundation embodiment of Fig. 2J illustrates that any of the disclosed foundation embodiments herein are compatible with alternative arrangements. In the present invention, alternative cell arrangements are not limited with respect to a specific quantity of cells.[000165] Fig. 6B shows another carrier system using the carrier of Fig. 21. Fig. 6B shows an alternative arrangement of security cells within the same carrier as Fig 21.[000166] Fig. 7A shows another embodiment of a carrier system. This embodiment is typically used for carrying quantities greater than the standard 4 units regularly illustrated throughout Figs. 1A-6B. The carrier system of Fig. 7A offers vertically adjacent additional security cells that can lock cartons into place from above the original cells. This carrier system is particularly useful for carrying quantities of 4 or more cartons and is not limited to any particular carton type.[000167] Fig. 7B shows another embodiment of a carrier system. This embodiment is typically used for carrying quantities greater than the standard 4 units regularly illustrated throughout the Figs. 1A-6B. The carrier system of Fig. 7B offers horizontally adjacent additional security cells. This carrier system is particularly useful for carrying quantities of 4 or more cartons and is not limited to any particular carton type.[000168] Fig. 7C shows another embodiment of a carrier system. This embodiment is typically used for carrying quantities greater than the standard 4 units regularly illustrated throughout the Figs. 1A-6B. The carrier system of Fig. 7C offers horizontally adjacent additional security cells. This carrier system is particularly useful for carrying quantities of 4 or more cartons and is not limited to any particular carton type.[000169] Fig. 8A shows another embodiment of a carrier system in a stacked configuration and with top handles. Fig. 8A displays the vertical stacking process for different security system variations and handle inputs. Regardless of the foundation or the handle, the carrier system feasible both for shelves and in vertical columns.[000170] Fig. 8B shows the stacking of the carrier system of Fig. 8A. Fig. 8B also displays how the top handle insert 2F can collapse downward to maximize vertical shelf space in a shelf setting. At Point 8B*, an optional add-in is capable of collapsing 2F into the central divider 15.[000171] Fig. 8C shows another embodiment of a carrier with an optional collapsible handle add-in, 8B*.[000172] Fig. 9A shows carrier systems having various commercially available cartons having side flaps.[000173] Fig. 9B shows carrier systems having various commercially available cartons not having side flaps. Those cartons are compatible with the carrier systems of Figs. 1A-9B apart from brimless milk cartons individually having 750+ ml volume. Those latter cartons require Foundation #4 - maximum FST-only security. The remainder of side-flapless cartons can utilize any FST-only foundation variation of Foundations 1 -3.[000174] Fig. 10A shows a corrugated board that forms an embodiment of a carrier of the present invention when assembled. The foundation security system for carrying cartons does not change from Figs. 1A-9B to Fig 10. However, the mode of manufacturing has changed from a 3D printing or a molding system to a corrugated board system. This is simply the security system of the present invention in a corrugated format. An FST-only corrugated base-less carrying system is only compatible with brimmed cartons, given the embedded up-lift security system within all models (Fig. 3A1), and rectangular pouches individually weighing under 500 ml. Milk cartons of all weights are only compatible with the molded base-less system. The corrugated variation demonstrates the versatility of not only the system's two-tier features, but also the FLT tier's ability to hold all cartons with side-flaps, regardless of their volume, through a base-less format, regardless of the raw material or manufacturing process used. Embodiments with FLT only and FST only are possible.[000175] Fig. 10B shows a corrugated carrier system using a corrugated carrier assembled from the flat corrugated board of Fig. 10A. The system of Fig. 10B demonstrates the visual and structural similarities between corrugated systems and those formed from molding / 3D printed processes (Fig. 1A-9B).[000176] Fig. 11A is an example of an individual cell for a carton having side flaps. Fig. 11A shows an individual security cell useful within a cumulative security system for multiple units. Fig. 11B shows another example of an individual cell for a carton having side flaps.[000177] Figs. 12A and 12B show a standalone carton 36 having opposing side flaps 38. Carton 36 has an exterior surface 40 and a cap 42. Carton 36 is useful in carrier systems of the present invention.[000178] The first layer of feature, the friction-suction feature, or FST (Figs. 3A-3D), can be applied for both cartons with side-flaps and no side-flaps because it uses the specialized formfitting friction diagrammed in Fig. 3C to secure the circumference of the cartons through incorporated curvatures within the cell walls of the carrier. This curvature is specially designed to accommodate all brands and all types of cartons both with and without side flaps. The sloped curvatures within compartment walls grip the carton through the squeeze components in each compartment wall surrounding the input hole, location 11. The compartmental walls that possess the FST can be referred to through the labeling and figure diagrams as (3A)*, (3B)*, and (3B1). 3A1 is a specific diagram to show the compartmental wall without a side flap lock when the security measure is not necessary. Within Fig. 3C, there is a pinching indication at the base of the wall curvature. This is an extra supplementary measure within the FST tier (Figs. 3A-3D) that maximizes stability by pinching the circumference of the carton at a specific angle to seamlessly invite the carton into the compartmental cell but latches onto its circumference as the carton attempts to slide downward. It serves as a slight "suction" around the carton in a sense all while pressing on the sides of the carton in harmony with the midsection curvature pressing against the rest of the carton's inserted circumference. The protrusion provides support without against the circumference while simultaneously providing that suction. This feature is located along the base wall of the compartmental walls to secure the carton's perimeter from top to bottom regardless if it has side flaps or no side flaps. This feature was specially designed to secure all types of cartons regardless of their use of side flaps. However, to maximize the base-less security system's capabilities, the side flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J) was deployed for cartons with side flaps. Whenever the hole is adjusted for a different carton, theFST feature can become more prevalent or less prevalent depending on material preference by the user.[000179] When the FST density is increased, like in Figs. 2J and 3B, it is normally because the carton has a volume over 946 ml and the quantity carried is 4+ units. This does not mean a high FST format (Fig. 3B) is required for these cartons. For simplicity purposes, the Figs, only displayed additional security cells (Figs. 7A-7C) with the low FST density format (Fig. 1) to maintain homogeneity. All foundation variations 1, 21, 2J, can have additional security cells in any location on the pre-existing foundations (7A-7C). For further simplicity purposes, the Figs, only displayed images of the full FST in carrier pairs of 4, because it still reflects the same security components regardless. When FST is maximized, and the carton has side flaps, the side flap lock is always deployed for additional security on the foundation. This ensures full security from all directions and security through logistical transport. As seen within Fig. 2J, the carrier's frontal and rear walls (3B) use full density FST, (Figs. 3B). In this case, because the full density FST is being deployed, simpler flap locks, such as 4E, are used because the FST is already securing the carton very effectively. A more complex flap lock adds to manufacturing time and increased FST adds to the time as well, so it is possible to eliminate the time through one facet. If the carrier is for 4 cartons and 1-liter unit volumes or less, the carrier can definitely survive on low FST density and lower flap lock complexity. For complex logistical plans, higher FST is sometimes recommended for certain large volume 4-packs. However, even with the high density FST, the invention will be the lowest material carrier on the market to date. All of the locks perform the same function and are ultimately a part of an evolutionary line of renditions that lead to Fig. 41. Depending on the level of FST, the complimentary flap lock installed can either be less complex (Figs. 4A-4J) or more complex (Fig. 41), or manufactured from corrugated board (Fig. 4J).[000180] Once the package is secured through the first support pillar described, the carton is secured into the side-flap locks (Figs. 4A-4J) indefinitely from any direction. The invention's never before seen flap-lock feature (Figs. 4A-4J) allows for even further security of any containerwith side flaps. With the side flaps lock, the invention can be held upside down, sideways, shaken viciously, and no carton will dislodge. If the package possesses side flaps, the side flap security lock feature (Figs. 4A-4J) is also incorporated within the compartmental walls (Figs. 3A- 3D), allowing for the side flaps to click into place. The side flap slides through the cells, along with the rest of the carton, and gets squeezed inwards. While the whole carton is being squeezed inwards, the flap lock provides a brief space for the side flaps to breathe, which naturally pushes these side flaps outwards into pocket 1, location 6 (pocket 6) or pocket 2, location 9 (pocket 22) depending on the carton's position. In foundations with Flap Lock 41, where both pocket 6 and pocket 22 are included, the cartons must be inserted deeper into the cell so it is at a higher location so the flaps slide over the security wall 7, and into pocket 22, instead of pocket 6. Pocket 6 is designed to be more of a security lock for age-restricted substances. Pocket 6 is a more difficult region to dislodge a side flap from, especially for the hands of a child. This specific process will be discussed in further detail later on. If the flap lock is less complex, pockets 6 and 22 can be merged into a single insert labeled 6 / 9. In the case of foundation 2J, the flap lock is straightforward in that location 9 is fused to the central foundation of the carrier. Of course, 2J could possess a secondary pocket; however, the figure displays a polar opposite foundational variation to Figs. 1A and 21. On a general basis, a less secure flap lock, without pocket 2 or a high support wall, is used on contents that do not require a tougher release, like waters, broths, juices, etc. The invention incorporates a safety lock at pocket 2, location 9, behind the high support wall, location 7, where the flap fits over the ledge and locks into place more permanently than pocket 1, location 6. Fig. 4J depicts the a corrugated board embodiment. While pocket 22 is not always needed, there can be variations to the FST (Figs. 3A-3D), flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J), and carrier foundation (Figs. 1, 21, 2J, 3D, and 10).[000181] If hybrid flap lock variation 4J is desired, pocket 1, at location 6, gives users an easy release. For less complex flap locks with mid-level security (4G-4H), pocket 1 is an option, labelled 6 / 9. The security ridge, location 5, that sandwiches pocket 1, location 6, between support wall, location 7, can be any height, but it is recommended that this pocket remains a low security wall, ridge, or ledge, especially if pocket 2 is present. When observing Fig. 2J, therelease location does not need to be a tough release, which is why pocket 2, location 9, is removed and merged with pocket 1, location 6, in front of support wall, Location 7. Fig. 2, and Fig. 3B, are a bulkier version of Fig. 1, or Fig. 3A, if material was re-added to the foundation. Once this occurs, the walls fill out and the flap lock can fill into a one pocket system as described in Figs. 4A-4D. Possibly, the flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J) can even be evolved further into a 3 pocket system, where there is a third pocket between locations 6 and 9 on Fig. 1. There is no limitation to the quantity of pockets as well. Everything in the Figs., besides Fig. 8, are products of the same foundation for carrying carriers through a spectrum of combinations between different degrees of friction-suction feature (Figs. 3A-3D) and flap-lock feature (Figs. 4A-4J). Depending on user desires, FST can increase closer to Fig. 2J1, Fig. 2J2, or Fig. 3B, or the FST can decrease Fig. 1, Fig. 21, or Fig. 3A. In response, the invention offers a lighter flap lock (Fig. 4A-4D), more comprehensive (Figs. 4E-4H), a less comprehensive dual / single insert flap lock (Fig. 4G), or a hybrid option (Fig. 41). When the flap lock is constructed of corrugated board (Fig. 4J), the flap lock has both pocket options, 6 or 9, for maximum security. These variations perform the same function but are designed to different user preferences. All different designs of the ultimately the same utility function. Regardless of the flap lock's security complexity (Figs. 4A-4J), the carton remains locked into place from all angles through the two tiers harmonizing - the FST stabilizes the side flaps position within their respective locks and the lock maintains their hold on the side flaps. This is the main form of security for aseptic packaging with side-flaps apart from the form-fitting FST (Figs. 3A-3D).[000182] Moreover, the flap lock allows the structure to hold any carton dimensions, quantity, and / or volume from all different angles indefinitely. Overtime, unless the carton without side flaps has a brim, like in Fig. 3A1, gravitational force may play a factor for larger cartons without this brim that can rest on the foundation. That said, high FST, like Figs. 2J / 3B or Fig. 3D, is sometimes recommended for heavy cartons (without lateral flaps) in larger volumes to help the security system maintain control indefinitely without the second tier of security. Through the flap-lock variations described in Figs. 4A-4J, the invention provides a suitable flap lock for different needs. As mentioned above, all Fig. 4 flap lock variations secure all types ofcartons, but each sub-figure shows the evolution of the flap lock to Fig. 41. All of these figures perform the same locking function, but at different degrees and can be combined with substantially any level of FST (Figs. 3A-3D).[000183] Figs. 1A-11B show developmental modifications to the foundation. Fig. 3A shows the difference between 3A, 3B, and 3E. Use of side flaps as the primary means of security for a carrier is well within the scope of the invention many disclosed embodiments encompass a range of different flap lock designs (Figs. 4A-4J). Usually, the less complex the flap lock (Figs. 4A- 4J), the more secure the friction-suction feature (Figs. 3A-3D). Simpler flap locks (4A-4D) can also be used in designs in which the use of glue is undesirable.[000184] While the friction-based feature (Figs. 3A-3D) serves as one pillar of support, the side flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J) guarantees security for all cartons with side-flaps, regardless of their dimensions or volume. The security lock (Figs. 4A-4J) is partly an inverted groove, location 8, that guides the triangular portion of the side flap to a base ledge, location 5, where the flat part of the side flap clicks into place in either the first, location 6, or second pocket, location 9, through the space previously. At this location, the side flap lightly locks into the small pocket and clicks into place. Depending on the user's desires, a thin small wall can be added on the ledge of the side-flap lock to further secure the side flap into place. The two tier security system [(Figs. 3A-3D) (Figs. 4A-4J] can be divided into two independent security functions if need be. This would be in the case that a carton does not possess side-flaps and the friction-suction feature is maximized to compensate, which is partially depicted in Fig. 2J for a carrier with increased FST (Fig. 3B) and primarily depicted in subfigure Fig. 3A1 below the illustrated insertion process. Although the carrier's two-tier feature is particularly useful for all cartons with side flaps, the foundation can also accommodate packages without side flaps through a modification to the carrier foundation that eliminates the flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J) entirely and increases the friction-suction feature (Figs. 3A-3D) across the entire compartmental wall (Figs. 3A or 3B+3B1); however, within this analysis, the discussion is going to focus on the carrier's function with the majority population of cartons - cartons with side flaps. Non-inclusion of the side flap lock is apparent in Fig. 3A1 and Fig. 9B, in which cartons without side flaps aredepicted. This is because the friction-suction feature is independently capable of securing this minority package population when the flap lock is removed. This is because the FST (Figs. SA- 30) is capable of gripping cartons through the base-less carrier foundation using its form fiting and pinching functions. However, since the majority of packages have side flaps, the carrier will primarily use the flap-lock feature as well, and its variations as described in Fig. 4, in combination with the FST (Figs. 3A-3D). The invention can remove the flap-lock feature if need be, but for the simplicity of the present invention, the variation FST used for cartons with side flaps is depicted in Fig. 3B. However, the foundations in Figs. 1A-D, 3A, 3B, 3B1, 2A-J, 5A-B1, BABB, 7A-7C, 8A-8B*, and 9A-9B all possess a flap lock to display the flap lock's compatibility with maximum levels of FST (Figs. 3B and 2J). Carrier embodiments without flap locks are disclosed in Figs. 3A, 3A1, 3B, and 3B1, and Figs. 9B and 3D show FST (Figs. 3A-3D) functioning alone in carrying cartons.[000185] Whenever a carton is to be released from the carrier, there are structurally two methods of release based on the type of flap lock security. With the simpler flap locks (Figs. 4A- C), or pocket 6 in Fig. lA / Fig. 41, these pockets possess a lower security wall 7, so the user simply pinches the side flaps of the package inwards and pushes downwards to release the carton from the side-flap locks. After pinching inwards and pushing downwards, the carton should be dislodged from the side-flap locks (Figs. 4A-4J). If the carton is dislodged from the side-flap locks (Figs. 4A-4J) but is this stuck between the compartmental walls (Figs. 3A-3D) inside the carrier's input holes, location 11, the user may need to push downwards on the top of the carton once more to ensure that the carton can be fully removed from the FST (Figs. 3A- 3D). Again, this simpler process only works when the flaps are locked into flap lock pocket 1 of 41 on Fig. 1, location 6, or the flap locks in Figs. 4A-4D.[000186] If the contents are alcoholic or non-consumable, the side flap lock can have a high security wall, 5 / 7, that appears closer to flap lock designs Figs. 4E-4H. Moreover, this security pocket, Location 9, is implemented into hybrid flap lock Fig. 41 as one of two options. Flap lock Fig. 4G is only present to indicate that the security wall, 5, can be reduced to a ridge on dual flap lock inserts as well as single flap lock inserts, depicted in earlier Fig. 4B as a singleinsert. There are no limitations to the length, width, or height of the flap lock ridge, 5, and the number of insert options the flap lock contains. When observing the evolved flap lock design on Fig. 1, which is also Fig. 41, there are two slots at locations 6 and 9. If the beverage is of unsafe contents, the flaps will fit over the high support wall, location 7, and fit into pocket 22, as the support wall rests in the pit of the side flap. If this process is unnecessary for the container's contents, the frontal inner pocket 6, is used instead for an easier release. To remove the package from pocket 6, one will need to first push up on the bottom of the package, then pinch the flaps, and push down on the top of the package to release the carton from the cellular compartment's insertion zone (location 11). If the side flaps are not completely secured by the user's fingers on the way downwards, the side flaps may be 'saved' by pocket 22, on the way down, intentionally, if the user has little control of the package through the process. Usually if the user has little control, they are most likely a child. The side flaps need to be consistently pressed inward on the way down to pass through both primary and inner pockets 22 and 6 when released from pocket 2, location 9, through the cell 11, and out of the exterior carrier foundation 1.[000187] Referring now to the figures in greater particularity, a container carrier embodying the principle features and characteristics and optional features of the invention are identified in further detail through Figs. 1A-11B. In Figs. 1A-11B, the labeling numerals are the same in each figure, and locations use the same foundation. If a labeled number within the write up or Figs, is bold and contains parentheses, the number itself is also a numbered figure within the inventions Figure Index. Numerals with an asterisk (*) are optional, non-limiting features.[000188] The container carriers in Figs. 1, 21, and 2J, are designed to carry a plurality of containers of different volumes, quantities, and similar polygonal dimensions. In these instances, the figures, display conveniently four in number, which are illustrated in foundations in Figs. 1, 21, and 2J as well as the entire range of Figs. 1A-11B. The foundation is not limited to 4 compartmental cells, as depicted in the optional limitation specification in Figs. 7A-7C. Figs. 7A- 7C depict the different arrangements for additional sets of 4 cartons. The carrier's two-tierfeature, the FST, embodied in Figs. 3A-3D, and the flap-lock feature, embodied in Figs. 4A-4J, is only used in combination for containers with side flaps. If the container has no side flaps, the flap lock can be not included and the resulting compartmental wall can be designed with FST curvature from the wall. This resulting version of the flap-lock wall side is depicted in Fig. 3A1 within illustration of insertion of cartons without side flaps. The description will further detail each figure and its respective labeling locations below.[000189] Figs. 1A-1D depict different perspectives of the carrier system using low FST (Fig. 3A*) within the frontal and rear compartmental walls and full FST (3B1) within the lateral compartmental walls where the flap locks are located. This foundation is specially designed to carry retailed quantities of 4 -52 units in all volumes, cellular arrangements (Fig. 6B), and carton types (9A-9B). The invention is not limited to carrying 52 containers either; however, 52 is well beyond the regularly retailed quantity of cartons. Fig. 1A, IB, and 1C depicts 3 different visual perspectives of the same variation of the invention. Figs. 1A-C are just different angles of the same low material carrier foundation, with the same flap lock configurations (Fig. 41) and same level of friction-suction feature (Figs. 3A*+3B1). Fig. 1 A-D's Length x Width x Height (L x W x H) dimensions illustrated within the first four sub-figures show various commercial and noncommercial containers in Fig. ID. For simplicity purposes, Figs. 1-8 all use the same L x W x H dimensional ratios, to maintain homogeneity. The carrier invention is not limited to the dimensionally compatible cartons with the Fig. 1-8's L x W x H ratio, but the same L x W x H dimensions are used to provide consistency for illustrative purposes. The only changes that occur within the carrier system for different carton types (Figs. 9A-9B) are the L x W x H dimensional ratios, visually shown in Figs. 9A-9B. However, the dimensions within the entire system are arranged in a way such that they substantially align when arranged for different carton types and volumes. The entire system itself is entirely compatible with cartons with side flaps (Fig. 9A) as well as virtually all cartons without side flaps (Fig. 9B). Moreover, all 3 foundational variations [Figs. 1, 21, and 2J] are all compatible with virtually all compatible cartons with and without side flaps. The present carrier's entire low-material, base-less security system is within the scope of the invention for all compatible commercially available cartontypes and brands. That is why the various foundational embodiments [Figs. 1, 21, and 2J] are structurally different in design, but can encompass and utilize the same multi-tier feature system.[000190] All possible handle insert and fusion locations incorporated into the Fig. 1A foundational structure are located at locations 2A*, 2B*, 2C*, 2D*, 2E*, 2F*, 2G*, and 2H*. These locations are identified to depict all possible handle options for the carrier structure, inserted or fused to the structure itself. All locations 2A-H can be bolted, snap-fitted, or fused into the foundation at all locations. The handle inserts are possibly compatible with all foundation types. Figs. 21 and 2J show foundational variations following a user's handle preference. If the user wants to reduce the foundation's material further after choosing a top handle option (2D-H), they can remove the handle inserts (2A-2C) from the foundation, described in Fig. 21. If a user wants a fused handle option, it is typically for a higher volume, which would typically use full FST density (2B), described in Fig. 2J. If a user wants a bolted or snap-fit handle option for the higher FST foundation described with the fused handle options in Fig. 2J, this is also possible, but not depicted. There are no limitations to the type of handle used, because the security system accommodates all types of carrying methods and angles. All of these potential handle inserts are independently diagrammed in Fig. 2A-2H to illustrate the different handle embodiments. They all have an asterisk denoted because they are optional embodiments, since only one handle option can be used. Fig. 1A does not contain the handle inputs for the visual's simplicity. Fig. ID is a perspective of the carrier foundation with 4 commercially available containers inserted into the carrier's cells 11 on the figure, secured by compartmental wall's FST (Figs. 3A-3D) and flap-lock feature 41 at pocket 22. Figs. 2A-2H describe the different handle placements and options for Fig. 1, 1. 2A, 2B, and 2C depict the side handle insert options that can carry the foundation on its side, perpendicular to the ground. Figs. 2D is a built-in handle indentation for 4-packs carrying cartons under 750 ml per unit. 2E is a ball and socket plug in handle insert that allows for one top handle variation. Fig. 21 displays Fig. 1 with even further reduced material, removing side handle inserts (Figs. 2A-F). Fig. 2J depicts a foundation variation #3 with increased FST (Fig. 3B) and fused handle options 2J1and 2J2. In this scenario, similar to location 9, now 9.1, the insert options 2A-F are filled into the rest of the foundation. If a user selects a top handle for production, as described in Fig. 21, the width can be reduced to minimize overall material where side handle inserts where 2A, 2B, and, 2C once were. On the contrary, if the user wants side handles, the internal top handle inserts can be removed as well to reduce dimensions. There is possibly no limitation, as long as the handle option is viable and the two tier security system remains intact. If a fused handle was desired, typically for heavier volumes and quantities, the depth of the FST (3) can deepen on all compartmental walls and a handle can be fused anywhere to the carrier to increase carrying strength. As mentioned before, this is depicted in Figs. 2J1 and 2J2. If the user wants increased FST (Fig. 3B) with a bolted handle (Fig. 2J), i.e. any insert from the reduced version in Fig. 2A-2H, this can also be applied to the high-material version as well, foundation #3 2J. Fig. 1, if need be, can also delete all of its insertable carrying options and input a fused handle as well, similar Figs. 2J1 and 2J2. Furthermore, If the user wants different security measures within the carrier itself, the depth of the security walls, or FST level (Figs. 3A-3D), can increase on the carrier foundation and change the flap lock type (Figs. 4A-4J) to a different variation to better suit the new conditions, as described in Figs. 2J1 through 2J2. All foundations should all be thought to be the same carrier at different material densities, all containing the same security system. Therefore, all of these handle embodiments are universal for the carrier foundation and its embodied funebons. There are no handle limitations. All of these handle placements and designs are possible to display, and the carrier is not limited to these specific handles designs or placements; however, the array of figures is to demonstrate the carrier's versatility with fusedin, bolted in, and built in handles. [Fig. 2D / Location (2D / 2E)].[000191] Figs. 3A, 3B, and 3B1 represent 2 sets sides of the compartmental walls and their respective features on each respective Figs. 3A and 3B have the same compartmental frontal and rear walls at different FST densities. As depicted in Fig. 3A, to further visualize the consistent origins of all 3 foundation variations, an additional visual is provided within Fig. 3A, above sub-figure 3A1, to show how the frontal and rear walls can look different, via FST variations 3A or 3B, but all stem from the same security cell foundation. 3A is used onFoundations #1 and #2 -Figs. 1 and 21, and 3B is used in Foundation #3 -2J, but they all are based on substantially the same foundation. 3A* Is typically used when full FST density is not required for the carton, which is substantially all. Fig. 3B1 is always present on the compartmental walls for additional support to the flap locks (Figs. 4A-4J) or 41 on foundations in Figs. 1 and 21. Fig. 3C diagrams the features incorporated within the compartmental walls, regardless of the FST density. Fig. 3 is divided into Fig. 3A, Fig. 3A1, Fig. 3B, Fig. 3B1, and Fig. 3C. Fig. 3A shows a shallow level of friction-suction feature that is also embodied in Fig. 1. Fig. Al depicts the insertion process for cartons without side flaps and their locations of security using the low density foundation (3A*), once inserted. Fig. 3B displays a deeper level of frictionsuction feature previously displayed in Foundation #3, Fig. 2J. Fig. 3B1, depicts the FST curvatures in the compartmental wall with the side flap lock. Lastly, Fig. 3C displays the FST's structural features within the wall itself for all figures. Moreover, the friction-suction feature is already incorporated into the entire wall, regardless of the depth. In Fig. C, the curvature of the compartmental walls lightly pinch into the circumference of the carton and grip the carton into place as it slides upwards and the girthier portion of the carton fits into place. At the base of the FST, there are additional protruding indentations that help secure the circumference further. At this location the carton's slide flaps are substantially aligned with the gap on the flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J), allowing the flap to lock into inner pockets 6 and primary pockets 22.[000192] As exemplified in the figures, the relationship between FST (Figs. 3A-3D) and flap-lock technology (FLT) (Figs, 4A-4J) offer a multitude of combinations to secure carton carriers and carrier systems. For instance, Foundations #1 and #2 (Figs. 1A-1D and 211-212) are embodiments combining lower FST (Fig. 3A) with a higher FLT complexity (Fig. 41). Foundation #2 in Figs. 2J1-2J2 depicts a more balanced combination of features, in which the FST is amplified to 70% and the FLT is lessened from a hybrid format (Fig. 41) to a lesser complex flap lock closer to that of Fig. 4E. Foundation #4 (Figs. 3D1-3D4) illustrates the other end of the spectrum where FST is complete and FLT is not present. The embodiment of Foundation #4 is only used in a minority of carrier systems. As described in Fig. 3A1, the complete level in Fig. 3D is not even required for brimmed cartons without side flaps. In Fig. 3A1, the configuration of theflap lock is simplified to that of a flat connector, allowing cartons to be completely compatible in all foundation embodiments. In instances in which the carton is 750+ ml and has no brim or lateral / side flaps, FST (Figs. 3D1— 3D4) is preferable and in some instances required. Fig. 3D can be constructed in a corrugated format for lower carton volumes similar to the corrugated structure in Fig. 10B. However, a corrugated FST-only structure is not always stable with cartons, without brims or side-flaps, individually weighing 750+ ml. Therefore, this particular foundation variation is preferably molded from a rigid material but not limited to any particular rigid material. All systems containing both FST and FLT are compatible through molding / printing (Figs. 1A-1D) or corrugation (Fig. 10). There are no limitations to manufacturing processes or raw materials when concerning the carrier system for cartons with side-flaps. A cell's length and width solely depend on the carton's dimensional specifications. Moreover, complete FST activity is shown with respect to the components diagrammed in Fig. 3C being exaggerated to full capacity. Because the FST components are less apparent in Foundations #l-#3, the two segments described in Fig. 3C are less visible. Excluding the brimmed cartons described in Figure 3A1, Foundation #4 is the base-less carrying system that is strictly used for the remaining cartons described in Fig. 9B, which individually have volumes above 750 ml. If the cartons are smaller, a 60% FST density level between to Figs. 3A and Figs. 2J1-2J2 / 3B is allowed. These FST variations are all denoted as optional (*) because they are all interchangeable for cartons with lateral / side flaps (Fig. 9A) and brimmed cartons (Fig. 3A1). For cartons with flap locks, the FST level is really a means to stabilize the carton into proper position for the FLT (Figs. 4A-4J). The FLT (Figs. 4A-4J) is a major security variable for cartons with side-flaps and making a low FST foundation possible. Since brimmed cartons are compatible in all foundation variations even when FLT (Fig. 3A1) is not present, Foundation #4 is preferably only used for milk cartons. Foundation #4 is not limited to these specific carton types, but is representative of the general types of cartoons retailed without lateral flaps. As mentioned previously, the FLT technology is only compatible with cartons with lateral flaps, while the FST technology can be incorporated into the compartment midsection and base (Fig. 3C) of all carton types at varying degrees. In Fig. 3C, the compartment wall is simplified to a schematic diagram that compartmentalizes the midsection and base. These same FST features are described in Fig. 3C are active withinFoundations #1 to #4, but to different degrees with different FLT levels. Total FST levels (Figs. 3D1-3D4) are never required for foundations with active FLT - regardless of quantity, dimensions, or volume. However, when FLT is not present to completely secure the sides of a carton, the FST levels can be amplified to greater levels, beyond the levels of 3B* and Foundation #3 (Fig. 2J), to form a stable grip around any individual, non-tetrahedral carton without side-flaps. When considering cartons with latera l / side flaps or a brim— the choice between Foundations #1 to #3 is based substantially on user / design preference, as the security features function effectively. When considering cartons without a brim or lateral flaps over 750 ml— Foundation #4 becomes highly preferred. While Foundation #4, depicted in Fig. , excludes the FLT feature, this variation of FST feature provides full compatibility across all remaining cartons without lateral flaps or brims.[000193] Figs. 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E, 4F, and 4G refer to the flap lock and its variations that secure the package's side flaps. This her of security is only deployed in combination with FST (Figs. 3A-3D) for cartons with side flaps; however, the majority of retailed cartons possess these flaps. Fig. 4 dives into the variations of the flap lock itself, but the flap-lock feature is not limited to these designs. For instance, some variations diagrammed only show versions that have protruding ledges, non-protruding ledges, or insert zones with or without cells (6 / 9). However, all of these chara cteristics should be assumed as applicable to all flap lock designs. Any designs that are not depicted but produce the same outcome should be deemed within the scope of the flap-lock feature. As indicated through Figs. 4A-4H, there are many side flap lock variations that can be used depending on the type of compartmental wall's Friction-suction Feature Depth (Figs. 3A-3D). While Fig. 1A-1D displays Flap Lock (FLT) Variation 4H, the other different flap lock variations can be used within Fig. 1 based on user preference. Each method secures the flaps just as effectively, but some methods, such as Figs. 4F and 4G, can impact the glue between the side flaps and the carton since the wall is high. Although it is not a major concern, some users may prefer no interference with the glue, which is why 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D offer this same security without interference in a variety of ways. The flap lock 4E on Fig. 2J, it is a less complex flap lock variation compared to Fig. 41. Usually, the greater the FST (Figs. 3A-3D), the less thenecessity for a complex or high security flap lock 41. Since 41 is a hybrid between the hall and low flap lock inserts, users may also just want one of the two offerings depending on the contents of the cartons. If the contents are unsafe or age-restricted and the user wants a more secure, but less complex flap lock, 4F or 4G can be used instead of 41. If the contents are safe and a user wants a less complex flap lock, then Figs. 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D offer this second tier security in such fashion. However, there are no limitations to the combination of FST options (Figs. 3A-3D) and flap lock options (Figs. 4A-4J) on the carrier. The combination is mainly based upon user preference, unless the carton is a high volume and high quantity. Then, higher FST compartmental walls (Fig. 3B) is normally recommended with a less complex flap lock - 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E, 4F, 4G, and 4H. Moreover, 41 can also be implemented into the higher FST foundation 2J as well. Every flap lock is interchangeable with every foundation type.[000194] In situations for cartons without side flaps, depicted in Fig. 3A1, the low material foundation will just remove the flap lock and fill the remaining space with the pre-existing compartmental wall that was eliminated for cartons without side flaps, depicted in the hybrid security cell 2I / 2J within Fig. 3A1. This whole space does not necessarily need to be completely filled, but the flap lock region, at 41, should be at least replaced with the pre-existing compartmental wall's FST that follows the features within Fig. 3C.[000195] As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, there are variations of each tier of security depending on primarily user request, but, at times, also on the volume and quantity of the cartons. All carton types can be held in either Fig. 1 or 21, or 2J successfully, with any type of flap lock and friction-suction feature combination. Moreover, all carton types without side flaps are listed in Fig. 9B can be secured through all FST variations without the need for a flap lock. The variations within both Figs. 3 and 4 show the origins of the carrier's feature tiers and scope of the invention regardless of complexity, simplicity, or visual diversity. When the compartment walls become deeper (Figs. 3B and 3B1), as mentioned, the flap lock typically reduces form from a two pocket system, i.e. Fig. 41, with insertable locations 6 and 9, to a single pocket system, 4A- 4J, with location 6 / 9 or simply location 6, as depicted in Fig. 2J. The two-tier system is displayed in Fig. 1 at 41 to encapsulate all of Fig. 4 into one flap lock. It is a way to combine all of thedifferent options of those Figs, into one flap lock. To illustrate the scope of the invention, Figs. 4A-4J include an array of flap locks to display various embodiments. There is a distinct purpose for those two levels of flap locks within Fig. 41 or location 41 in Fig. 1. In this carrier type, the pocket at location 9 in Fig. 1 is behind a higher security wall, location 7, that can be used for non-consumable contents or alcoholic beverages. Moreover, the carrier also possesses a security option for more difficult access, similar prescription bottles, at pocket 2, location 9. pocket 2, location 9, combined with High Security Wall, location 7, creates a more secure lock once the carton is slid all the way up through the carton's respective cell, location 11, and then pushed down once the flaps are over the wall, location 7, and positioned into pocket 2, location 9. This creates a divide between the side flap lock and the carton while the carton's side-flap 'pit' sits on the wall. When the user tries to release the carton one needs to first push the carton up, pinch the flaps in ward, then push down and the carton will typically fall into pocket 6 on the way downwards. Both pockets can be used together, location 6 / 9, alone, just location 6, or together, locations 6 and 9, as described through Figs. 4A-4J. If the container has standard contents, the carton can simply be placed in pocket 1, 6, of the flap lock (Fig. 41) in Fig. 1 between the security ridge, location 5, and the support wall, 7. In order to remove the carton from this pocket, the user performs the same procedure as for pocket 9, but it is much easier. One would pinch the sides flaps and the flaps naturally pop inwards off the lower ridge, location 5, and the user lightly pushes down from there once the carton is dislodged. Pocket 6's depth and the security ridge 5's height are a mixture of Figs. 4B and 4C. The hybrid flap lock 4H pocket 1, 6, can reduce security even further as shown in Figs. 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4G depending on user request. The hybrid figure depicted in 41 is not limited to the illustrated proportions, dimensions, or number of side flap insets. The flap lock itself should not be limited to these figures, but these figures should display a spectrum of possible locking provisions that the invention is not limited to. These figures are variations of each other. Both security levels of the flap lock, (Fig. 41), or 41, included in Fig. 1 can be independently used upon request, as shown in Figs. 2J1 and 2J2 and Figs. 4A-G. The side flap lock should not be limited to just 41 or any of the other figures that perform this same function (4A-4G).[000196] Figs. 5A to 5B1 demonstrate two optional add-in functions: cell foldability (5A) and detachability (5B). In Fig. 5A, 5A1 is a foldable portion of a plastic material holding the middle of location 15 together across the entire carrier, at the location above the handle cell (2F). The carrier detaches at location 5A similar to Fig. 4 so it can fold 180 degrees. As shown in 5B, the carrier's cells can be detachable at locations 5B and 5B1. 5B is the lateral detachment location depicted in Fig. 5B, and Fig. 5B1 depicts the central detachment location that achieves full detachability for all cells. These pieces connect and disconnect with a slight groove on the edge of the connective piece that clicks into place once inserted. 5B and 5B1 can be applied to the structure independently or simultaneously, as illustrated through the two separate figures. There is no limitation to the structure's detachment flexibility for all foundation variations - 1, 21, and 2J. This optional function is not limited to just 4-pack carriers as well. The foldable option is not normally equipped within full FST foundations, like Fig. 2J; however, it could be implemented if needed.[000197] Fig. 6A-6B demonstrates how the carrier foundation can easily adjust to different security cell arrangements regardless of the foundation's variation. To display the invention's arrangement versatility with different FST densities, 2J and 21, Fig. 6A uses the 2J Security Cells with Fig. 3B FST density through a vertical cell arrangement. Fig. 6B depicts the security-cells from foundation #2, Fig. 21, through a horizontal arrangement with an alternative handle option, 2.1* for the occasion. Since Fig. 1 is practically Fig. 21 without 2A-2C, it should be assumed that foundation #1 is fully compatible with both arrangements depicted in Figs. 6A-6B. Remaining on this topic, all foundation variations 1 - 3 are capable of having their security cells rearranged in whichever orientation the user desires. That being said, Figs. 6A-6B is basically depicting alternative cell arrangements for all three foundations through one foundation in the diagram. These Figs, are designed to show the foundation's universal security regardless of the arrangement as well. The carrier system is not limited to these carton types.[000198] Figs. 7A, 7B, and 7C depict additional cell variations for the 4-pack foundation, regardless of the foundational variation, using the Fig. 1 foundation 1. In Fig. 7A, the additionalcells are directly fused on top of foundation 1 with no additional modification for cartons with larger caps. When the additional cells are directly added on top, only cartons with pull tabs, straws, or caps under .5 inches can fit. A slight modification for additional central space would easily allow for accommodation of all cartons with caps. While the literal state of Fig. 7A cannot support cartons with caps over 0.5 inches, the space between added security-cell / security squares can be adjusted to accommodate cartons with all cap designs. The carrier should not be limited to only small capped cartons when stacking additional security cells vertically adjacent to the core carrier foundation (Fig. 7A). Fig. 7B depicts vertically adjacent additional cells to the carrier foundation. No spatial modifications are necessary for cartons with caps versus no caps. In Fig. 7C, additional cells are added horizontally adjacent to the four pack carrier foundation reusing the Fig. 1 foundation 1. Again, no spatial modifications are necessary for cartons with caps versus no caps. The carrier system is not limited to these carton types.[000199] Fig. 8A depicts how the carriers would stack on top each other in a shelf space setting, regardless of the handle type or foundational variation. To maximize variability, the visual represents all three foundation variations stacked - 1, 21, and 2J - with three diversified handle methods - (2F), (2J1), and (2A). Each handle method depicted in Figs. 2A-J2 is fully compatible in the same retail scenario depicted in Fig. 8A. For simplicity purposes, only three foundations are stacked, but within the three different foundations, we included both bolted, snap-fit, and fused handle options in all possible input directions. It is recommended that Foundation 2J and handles in Fig. 2J1 use a bolted or snap-fit handle from Figs. 2A-2H to minimize width space compared to a fused handle that is permanently a part of the carrier's width / length. Although all handle options are not depicted from Figs. 2A-2H in Fig. 7, these 3 handles encapsulate all possible stacking methods for 2A-J2 anyways. If the handle is placed on the top, like the handles in Figs. 2F-2G, the handle can just slide between the two sets of cartons as illustrated in Fig. 7. If the user wants to maximize their vertical shelf space at the top, Fig. 8B proposes an adjusted cell divider at location 8B*, which allows the handle 2F to collapse down and fit into a low ceiling shelf, described further in Fig. 8B. This optional collapsible function can be added to any carrier foundation, 1, 21, 2J, just like any carrier foundation canhave a fused handle instead, snap-fitted, or bolted-in handle. Furthermore, this handle option (2F) with the collapsible add-in (8B)* provides vertical mobility within the handle input 2F, allowing the handle to slide up-and-down, while still snap-fitted into place. As depicted, the carrier can seamlessly stack on top of one another regardless if the cartons have caps or no caps. Just like corrugated boxes with holes for the caps can stack on one another, this invention can perform the same stacking functions. When slid between the sets of cartons above it, the top handle also serves as additional stability, especially when these carriers are stacked in vertical rows above 5 individual sets. While the cartons without caps will balance on one another more easily, the tests indicate that the carrier has no issue stacking up to 26 carrier sets with caps. Moreover, this is not a limitation upon the carrier's stability, but a restraint on the ability to physically stack more.[000200] Figs. 9A-9B illustrate a spectrum of compatible cartons / pouches, with (Fig. 9A) and without (Fig. 9B) side flaps, retailed within the United States. These cartons / pouches are compatible with the carrier of the present invention. However, the carrier of the present invention is compatible with substantially all containers on the global retail market. Moreover, given the use of digital design, the cartons / pouches are not a depiction of the entire commercial market for that particular segment. For instance, the pouches depicted in Fig. 9B are commercially available. However, other commercially available pouches are also compatible. This is just one example of when the carton depicted in Fig. 9B or 9A is representative of the different compatible cartons / pouches produced commercially as long as the carrier is compatible and as long as the cartons possess conventional foundational features, e.g., boxy / polygonal with or without lateral flaps.[000201] Figs. 10A and 10B depict an alternative foundation for the security system constructed from corrugated cardboard material. All of the same functional features are applicable; however, the FST feature is implemented through two folded layers of the same sheet of cardboard that squeezes the circumference of the carton, and the flap locks are present on / in the first layer of cardboard that the carton is inserted through. All labeling points from the molded embodiments are applicable to this embodiment. Therefore, both systemsshould be thought of as substantially similar apart from their raw materials and manufacturing processes. The flap lock feature (4J) is the primary security feature for this embodiment of the base-less security system. Given the structurally weaker foundation of this embodiment compared to that of the molded embodiments, this alternative corrugated foundation is only compatible with cartons with side-flaps (Fig. 9A), flapless cartons with brims (Fig. 3A1), and brimless cartons without lateral flaps under 750 ml. 750ml + is only possible for 2 units carried.[000202] The foundational embodiment of Figs. 10A and 10B demonstrates the raw material versatility of the carrier system of the present invention. In the previous description of Figs. 1A-9B, the carrier of the invention was described as fully compatible with all raw material sources for 3D printing and molding processes. However, there was no mention of its form in corrugated cardboard. The embodiment of Fig. 10A and 10B provides a means for the core security features, Figs. 3A-3D and 4A-4J, secured with a less versatile raw material format - corrugated board. This format strategically uses creases to transform one sheet of cardboard, 1, into a three-dimensional structure with both FST components and a flap lock. For a 4-pack carrying system, the cardboard sheet, or the external foundation, 1, is creased with 3 parallel lines to form the central dividers, 12, and central compartment foundation, 15. All of circles, 16, are new implementations because these foundational structures require adhesives or insertion zones to construct the foundation into a carrier. 16 represents the regions where folding inserts or glue adhesives can be applied to assemble and adhere the foundation. Furthermore, the circles, 16, on the center divider 15, meet to form the central foundation of the carrier, 15, similar to a molded embodiment. Then, the board, 1, is creased with 2 more sets of parallel lines to form a first level of the compartment foundation, 1, and the 3-dimensional portion that connects the level one external foundation of the board, 1, with the second level, 1. All of these portions are labeled 1 because they create the foundation's external foundation. These creases that form the 3-dimensional layering, 1, create a small space, 17, between the first set of insertion holes 11, and the second set, 11, best visualized in Fig. 10B. These levels exactly match up with each other to create cells through one board. This space allows for the foundation's second level, 1, to fold over the first level, 1, containing the flap locks 4J. The second level of the external foundation possesses that upper portion of the flap lock, helping bring a 3-dimensionalaspect to the flap lock structure. In the second level of the external foundation, 1, the flap lock's lateral guide, 8, is embedded into the insertion hole, 11, as well as the support wall, 7. The lateral flap stabilizers, 10, are actually a part of the first level of the external foundation, 1. Afterwards, the board is then creased with one final set of parallel lines to form handle 2. The handle portions are assembled and connected together through an adhesive or fold-insert application, 16, once the second level of the external foundation, 1, is folded over. Moreover, no adhesive is needed to stabilize the cartons when inserted into the corrugated variation because the friction-suction feature (Figures 3A-3D) and the flap lock feature (4A-4J) are present. Before the board, 1, is assembled, eight holes, 11, are punched into the board to form the four insertion zones 11. Once the first and second levels of the external foundation, 1, are punched with their respective holes, 11 another 2 smaller holes, 2, are punched in the handle regions 2 to afford the user handling space. The structure, similar to Figures 1A-9B, is not limited to a particular handle configuration.[000203] Moreover, most cartons produced commercially are similar structurally, making most all of them compatible with at least one tier of the present system's base-less security-cell feature. Moreover, some of these brands have less commonly shaped bottles that are more difficult to digitally model, so a wide spectrum of compatibility is depicted in Figs. 9A-9B, including figures that embody less common designs, such as the pouches in Figs 9A and 9B. As shown in Fig. 9A-9B, whether the carton has side flaps or not, the security cell system is compatible as long as the carton's foundational dimensions follow the carrier's foundational cells dimensions to some extent. It should not be assumed the carrier is limited to the designs in Figs. 9A-9B. The diagrams should be solely used to reference the security system's versatility throughout virtually all cartons.[000204] Furthermore, Figs. 9A and 9B displays the carrier's compatibility with cartons with side flaps using foundational embodiments from Fig. 21, 21, and Fig. 2J, 2J, with the side handle options (Fig. 2A-2C) removed. Foundation embodiments 1, 21, and 2J can all accommodate the spectrum of cartons illustrated because they all stem from the same foundation. Only two foundations were used in Fig. 9A for the diagram's simplicity. In the caseof cartons without side flaps, illustrated in Fig. 9B, the carrier is also compatible with all three foundations; however, no flap-lock feature is deployed and the carrier fully relies on FST (Figs. 3A-3D). For the 3 compatible cartons and pouches listed in Fig. 8B, the carrier required is substantially the same as that depicted in Figs. 1, 21, and 2J except the flap lock, location (4), is deleted from the foundation and the FST is enhanced. The same foundational security cell is always used, regardless of the carton having side flaps; however, the only difference is the level of feature within each tier of the system.[000205] Figs. 11A-11B depict individual cells 11 that are composed to create the base-less carton carrying system for all cartons 20 with latera l / side flaps. These are the individual cells that come together to create Foundations similar to #1 (Fig. 1), #2 (Fig 21), and #3 (Fig 2J). All these foundations utilize the two tiers of features at different levels. In Figs. 1A-8B2, Location 1 refers to the external compartmental foundation 1 that holds the four cells 11 together. At Fig. 1A, Locations (2A*) to (2F*) represent the various handle inserts on carrier 20 that can either be bolted into the spaces or fused in. Handles are exemplified in Figs. 2-2J2. Fig. 1A has nine different prospective handle options that can accept various different handle designs. However, carrier 20 is not limited to these options. Fig. 2A represents the first bolted-in side handle option #1 that can be placed on either side of carrier 20. Figs. 2B-2C are simplified to one illustration with arrows indicating the compatibility on both sides where 2B and 2C are labeled. Fig. 2B is the second side handle option for the adjacent wall that can also be inserted on the opposite side of the first pair of 2B inserts. Fig. 2C shows the third side handle insert option for the same handle insert (Locations (2A)*, (2B)*, (2C)*). This method can be applied to the opposite side as well. Fig. 2D displays a finger "pinch-in" that is built-in to carrier 20 and does not require a handle at all. The user simply just uses their fingers to pick up the carrier in the indentations at 2D. At Location 2E, there is an alternative handle option at the same location as the 2D indentations where the first top handle can be added into the ball joints, similar to a ball and socket like design. The handle just clips in from the top. Fig. 2F is the second top / pa ra I le I handle insert option that slides into the middle gap of the central compartment foundation, location 13, and clips into the hole on either side. In Fig. 2G, or location (2G)*, a third parallel / top handle is proposed in the middle insert of the external compartment foundation,location 1. Either two half handles can clip into each other at a location, or one whole handle can fit in the gaps by itself at a tailored length. Additionally, all these inserts can be fused to the structure, if desired. This handle runs perpendicular to handle insert 2F. Lastly, Fig. 2H displays a smaller central handle option in the central gap, (2H) of Fig. 1. One handle with two insert legs squeezes down into the two corresponding gaps underneath the central material, or two halves clip in together at the meeting location similar to one of the handle variations disclosed in Fig. 2G. Fig. 2F is the primary handle option recommended, located in the central compartment slit, at location (13)*. Lastly, for cost effective purposes, which is not in any figure, the last handle option is a string or rope of any material through any of the carrier's holes, as a last resort handle option, if the built-in indentations are not feasible for larger quantity or dimensions. In Fig. 21, a top parallel handle is provided instead of perpendicular handle options. If a further reduced foundation that eliminated handle options, 2A-2C to reduce material waste / costs. This variation is possible. In Fig. 2J, all handle inserts 2A-2G are removed from carrier foundation 1, if a fused handle option is desired. A high density FST format can also include the entire spectrum of handles as well. Fig. 2J is only meant to exemplify a polar variation of the foundation, so there can be an additional option between the foundations 1, 21, and 2J not exemplified here. In the instance of 2J, the compartment cell's overall material / FST (Figs. 3A-3D) is increased on the frontal and rear cell walls to help support a larger volume and quantity, or for general user preference. A fused handle is also an option for Fig. lA's carrier foundation, if security is a major factor for the user. This means that all handle inserts on Foundations #1 (Fig. 1A) and #2 (Fig. 211) can be eliminated from the core foundation, causing the foundation to appear closer to that of Foundation Variation #3 in Fig. 2J. There are no limitations to the handle placement on carrier foundation cartons.[000206] As discussed above, Figs. 3A-3D, particularly locations (3A)*, (3B)*, and (3B1)*, refer to the compartmental walls that impart the friction-suction feature, FST, detailed in Fig. 3C and present within all Figs. 1A-11B. FST (Figs. 3A-3D) is the first security feature to use these cartons. FST is a specialized form-fitting feature created through the relationship between wall's enhanced convexity and bulbosity in the cell's midsection, combined with a slight protrusion atthe cell's base to "pinch" the circumference and suction around the inserted portion of the carton. While this pinch at the base is not mandatory within the FST, the little protrusion is added to further reinforce the security system's properties by creating an environment that both stabilizes and suctions the carton into the compartment cell. The little pinch surrounding the base helps ensure full, 360° security through this first tier of the security feature. The FST tier also allows the carton to correctly align with the flap lock, Figs. 4A-4J, located on the lateral compartmental walls, or 3B1. If one observes Fig. 3C, one can visualize how the compartmental wall's midsection is shaped (Fig. 3C) throughout the cell, Location 11, and how the base ridge helps support the curvature within the compartmental midsection. FST is the first tier of security within the carrier design, and it serves as the foundational pillar for proper positioning in the flap lock (4A-4H). This feature (Figs. 3A-3D) could possibly be used independently from the flap-lock feature (4A-4H), and any attempt to use form-fitting friction-suction feature to secure packages should be deemed within the scope of the invention. First described in Figs. 21 and 2J, the height, length, width of the compartment walls (3A,3B, and3Bl) are not fixed to a certain respective height or width- the cell walls can be minimized to 2 mm tall. There is no limitation to the height of the compartment walls / FST density (Figs. 3A-3D) on any cell wall. Since the same FST features are always incorporated into the cell walls, the features within each cell wall always remain consistent and proportionally similar to one another, regardless if the cell wall's depth is closer to Fig. 3A or Fig. 3B. Both variations possess the same qualities of Fig. 3C regardless of their depth, because the carrier's features are incorporated prior to adjusting the foundation. Furthermore, all of these Figs., Figs. 1, 21, and 2J are directly related to each other. The only differences are the depth of the carrier's walls (Figs. 3A-3D) and the complexity of the flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J), as mentioned earlier. The flap lock does not always require a high safety wall, location 5 / 7, for non-consumables or alcoholic beverages, displayed in Figs. 4E,4F, and 4G, as well as lower security wall variations (Figs. 4A-4D and 4G). If the user wants a less complex flap lock and increased FST, that can also be provided, but Fig. 1 is just highlighting the versatile embodiments of the side flap lock with lower FST, while Figs. 2Jland2J2 depict a different flap lock 4E variation and FST depth. As described through Figs. 3 and 4, there are variations of each tier of security depending on: user request, dimensions of the carriers, andvolume of the carriers. Possibly, every type of package can be held in either level of FST and flap-lock feature successfully; however, it is primarily user preference.[000207] Location (41), or Fig. 41, represents the side flap lock, or the second tier of security for the carton with side flaps. In Fig. 1, foundation #1 1 uses flap lock variation 41 because it encapsulates all of the independent functions embodied by the flap lock in Figs. 4A- 4G. 41 is a hybridized flap lock with a two-part system that has one high-security lock, location 9, and one low security lock, location 6. The first pocket at location 6 is nestled between the security ridge / wall, location 5, and the high support wall, location 7. This pocket is not limited to the visual in Fig. 41, so the typical depth of pocket 1, location 6, is between the depths of location 6 in Figs. 4B and 4C. While location 6 is not limited to the dimensions in Fig. 4B-4C, this is just a broad scope of what the lower ridge / walls would look like for inner pocket 6, on a hybrid flap lock (41). The reason for the many variations within the figure, is to depict the many different ways a flap lock could be installed into a carrying system for cartons. Some users prefer a lower lock depth because it does not penetrate the glue lining between the carton and its side flap. While the penetration of this glue is nothing detrimental, some users want their cartons to be unblemished upon release from the carrier system. Therefore, Figs. 4A to 4D would offer a solution to these specific requirements. Unless the contents are non-consumable or age- restricted beverages, a user can use a carrier with a low-depth security ridge or wall. If the beverage contains age-restricted or unsafe contents, then a deeper insert lock (4G-4H) or a hybrid lock 41 may be appropriate. Behind the High Security Wall, location 7, is pocket 22. When the carton is inserted into the carrier at the cell, location 11, the side flaps will lock into pocket 1, location 6, first. If the beverage or fluid is meant to be locked into the maximum security location, at pocket 2, location 9, the carton is simply just pushed up higher than pocket 1, location 6, until the flaps fit over the support wall, 7, and the pit of the carton's side flap rest on the support wall, location 7, until future detachment. This way, the entire flap is trapped over the wall. In the case of pocket 6, the ledge is not deep enough to penetrate the previously mentioned glue underneath the slide flap lock so the slide flaps can be simply pinched andpushed down to be removed from the carrier. The only case where the glue is penetrated is with pocket 22, or using the high security insert in Figs. 4E-4L[000208] Location 5, as previously discussed, is the first ledge, ridge, or wall that secures pocket 6, between itself and the support wall, location 7. At times, based on user preference, Location 5 slightly protrudes from the surrounding compartmental walls to further reinforce the FST feature. This protrusion, illustrated in some Figs., helps push the side flaps inwards before passing through the space where the flap lock resides. Note, the flap lock's ridge, location 5, is not limited to the certain designs with or without a protrusion. They can always be vice versa as well. This is meant to illustrate the variations the flap lock can have. Either flap lock format works just as effectively. Once the carton's side flaps reach the space where the flap lock starts, the flaps naturally pop out to fill the space and the carton simply 'clicks' into place at either pocket 6, or pocket 22. Base 5 can be as simple as a sleeve (Fig. 4A), a ledge (Fig. 4B) or as complex as a ledge / support wall for pocket 1 in Fig. 4G, also depicted in Fig. 1. That being said, the ledge is not limited to any specific dimensions or designs, as long as its purpose is to secure the side flaps to carry cartons.[000209] Location 5B represents the lateral detachment location depicted in Fig. 5B and Location 5B1 depicts the central detachment location for full cellular detachment illustrated in Fig. 5B. The compartmental cells can be completely detached from each other (Fig. 5B1) or detached in sets of two (Fig. 5B).[000210] Location 6, previously discussed, is pocket 1 located between the flap lock's security ridge, location 5, and the high support wall, location 7. The depth of pocket 1 is 0.1-3 mm depending on user preference and package size. There is no limitation to these dimensions. However, the pocket is typically between 1-2 mm deep so it does not intrude on the glue between the inner side flap and the carton. This flap lock can be used for all types of carton types; however, it is recommended for generic fluid contents due to its much more seamless releasability compared to the carton's position over the high support wall 7 into pocket 2, 9.This pocket does not require the carton to be pushed up when released. This is an easy downward pull with a slight pinch on the carton's side flaps.[000211] Location 7 Is the high support wall (high support wall 7) that can either be incorporated into the cell wall like in Figs. 2J1 and 2J2 when there is no pocket 2 and a simpler flap lock. Or, the contents behind the wall can be reduced like in Fig. 1 to resemble an additional pocket 2, 9, that can further secure the side flap for less-safe contents. The high security safety wall when there is a pocket 2 is typically 8-12 mm tall, but it is not limited to this height range. When the carton is locked into pocket 1, the support wall is serving as an additional stability location similar to the security ridge 5, and adjacent support walls 10. When the carton is inserted into pocket 2, the carton slides up a bit higher than its position in pocket 1, 6, and 'clicks' over the high security wall 7, fitting into the pit of the side flap between the flap itself and the carton. The only way the carton is removed is by pushing up, pinching the flaps in, and pushing down. For users with smaller hands or children, if the flaps are not consistently held down through the security wall phase, the flaps will probably fall into pocket 2, 6, as a built-in security net, since that lock is used for less safe contents.[000212] Location 8, on Figs. 1-7, refers to the slanted guides (slanted guides 8) on each side of the flap lock that guides the triangular portion of the side flap into place. The guides 8 help the carton line up with flap lock upon insertion. Location 8B* is not related to location 8. It is as an optional collapsible indentation embodiment for handle 2F.[000213] Location 9, on Figs. 1-7, refers to pocket 2 behind the high support wall 7. However, depending on the type of flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J) desired by the user, pocket 2, 9, may be merged together with pocket 1, 6, to simplify the flap lock 41 concept to only one insert lock function, as depicted through Figs. 4A-4J. Additionally, if the user wants additional FST security, the flap lock may not require a second insert location, causing location 9 to merge with the central foundation, location 15. When the package contains generic contents that are safe for all consumers, a high support wall, 7, + a second tier flap lock insert pocket is not necessary, but the carrier can still possess it because it is naturally there in a low material structure. That beingsaid, any version of Figs. 4A-4J can be applied to any carrier density (Figs. 1-2J). Location 9 can be built into the higher material foundations as well, but there are potential instances where the pockets would merge together. Preserving pockets 1 and 2 is still possible for high FST density (3B) foundation as well, like Fig. 2J. However, 2J is just an example of flap lock 4E and FST (3B / 3B1) variations with a fused handle input, which ultimately just thickens the height and density of the carrier, given the extra material. When the flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J) is simplified and the insert pockets are reduced from 2 pockets, 6 or 9, to 1 pocket, 6 / 9, and presented through two variations with Figs. 4F and 4G. The flap locks were diversified in design through ledge / ridge / wall height and protrusion dimensions, location 5, pocket variations and cell types, locations 6, 9, or 6 / 9, and method of side flap security, location 7 or location 5. There is a particular flap lock for every particular user instance, and this spectrum (4A-4J) is not limited to any particular dimensions and / or design format. This is just to diversify the flap lock and pocket options within the security system as a whole. All pocket variations 1-2 on Figs. 4A-4G are labeled, 6 / 9, because they are a merged pocket, regardless of the base having a hole or not. Pocket Variation 3, on Fig. 41, displays the transformation of individual variations of 6 / 9 into two independent functions that perform to different levels of security, pocket 1, 6, and pocket 2, 9. The merged pocket configuration is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. While pocket 1, 6 can perform all of the same functions pocket 2 possesses, location 9 is an opportunity for extra security, particularly on hybrid lock 4H. Pocket 2 possesses a deeper pocket and a higher frontal support wall, location 7, versus pocket l's, 6's, smaller depth due to the lower security ridge, 5, being shorter than the height of the Support wall, location 7. While there is no real limitation to the heights and dimensions of pocket 2, it is advised to keep the depth deeper than pocket 6, so this particular pocket can still serve as the deeper security lock for unsafe contents or an additional reusable security lock. It can also serve as a back-up for a damage pocket 1, or vice versa. There are no limitations to the dimensions and structure of pocket 2, location 9. When analyzing Fig. ID in reference to Location 9, the 4 cartons are inserted through their respective cells, 11, and pushed upwards until the carrier foundation until the carton's side flaps are aligned above the support wall, 7, and / or security ridge, 5. In this Fig., the four cartons are illustrated to be in both pockets 1, location 6, and pocket 2, location 9. If the carton is supposedto be secured through the safety lock, the carton is pushed up and the slide flaps pops out over the high security wall, location 7, practically the same process as the side flaps clicks into pocket 1, 6, but just at a higher location. Additionally, the wall rests deeper into the glue between the carton and side flap, but does not affect anything. The carton's 'pit' underneath the side flap rests on the high security wall. If the carton only needs to be locked into pocket 1 of the Flap Lock (4A-H), the carton's side flaps should be aligned slightly higher than the ridge / wall, location 5, for the flaps to pop out and fill up pocket 1, location 6, between the high support wall, location 7, the security ridge, location 5, and the adjacent support walls, location 10.[000214] Location 10, are the adjacent support walls that help secure the side flap within the flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J) from the sides either at pocket 1, location 6. The adjacent support walls, 10, are located on each side of pocket 1, location 6, and in between the security ridge, location 5, and high support wall, location 7. Moreover, location 10 is designed to create an enclosed quadrilateral structure that maintains the side flap's position from all different angles. Location 10 does not solely serve as adjacent support walls, just pocket 1, 6. As described in Fig. la on the frontal side of the diagram, Location 10 extends to the back-side of the flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J) and serves as an adjacent support wall for pocket 2 as well-known as Location 10A.Location 10's dimensions are slightly different between the front and back sides of the flap lock at 10A. The frontal adjacent support walls, 10, are slightly thicker than the back-side adjacent support walls, 10A, for no particular reason. The adjacent wall structure is not limited to this particular configuration.[000215] Location 11, on Figs. 1-6, are the cells that are used to insert the packages into the carrier foundation. These cells are created by the unification of compartmental walls / FST (Figs. 3A or 3B + 3B1), flap locks (Figs. 4A-4J), the central cell foundation, 13, and external cell foundation, 2. These cells are not limited to the dimensions and arrangements illustrated in Fig.1. As mentioned in Fig. 2J, the compartmental walls can be increased by its depth, which will increase the depth of the cell's enclosed perimeter, displayed in Fig. 2J. Moreover, as shown in Fig. 6A, 6B, and 6C, the cell, 11, dimensions, arrangements, and quantity can be modified per commercial requirements. The core foundation of this carrier are the enclosure cells thatsurround Location 11. The compartmental cell walls with incorporated FST (Figs. 3A-3D) can be adjusted to fit any container type, volume or brand. For instance, in Fig. 9A and 9B the foundation is fully compatible by simply just adjusting the cell dimensions within each cell, the carrier foundation can be transitioned from one package type to another. Moreover, as shown in Fig. 6A and 6B, the cells can also be rearranged in contrast to the traditional 4-pack arrangement. This foundation in 6B is the same foundation in 6A, but the individual cell's arrangement and FST changed. Regardless of the package's volume, product type, or quantity, the foundation can easily be rearranged to easily meet the needs of all packages with side flaps, and structurally all packages in general. Furthermore, the carrier should not be limited to only 4 cells per carrier. As described through Figs. 7A-7C, additional cells, regardless of the FST level, can be stacked in any direction.[000216] Location 12, are cell dividers 12 that are adjacent to the compartmental walls with incorporated friction-suction feature (Figs. 3A-3D) on each side of the flap lock (4A-4J). In the reduced material designs (Fig. 1A-1C), Location 12 serves as a partial divider between different inserted cartons, while in Figs. 2J the divider becomes a part of the compartmental wall, as the overall depth increases. Moreover, the divider in the low material design is also present to serve as a supplementary friction-suction outlet without being a full wall like in Fig. 2J. The reason they serve as supplemental stability support is because, in Figs. 2J Location 12 is not just a divider in this case but also a part of the middle carrier divider / compartmental foundation labeled 15 at the top of the figure and compartmental cell walls / FST (Figs. 3A-3D). Location 12 is a part of the compartmental cell walls with friction-suction feature, but the friction-suction feature and compartmental cell walls are not a part of the dividers because they serve an independent purpose. Furthermore, when observing Fig. 7, handle insert 2F located right above the central dividers 12, in Fig. 1 look like two separate functions. However, if the handle height needs to decrease from its higher position in Fig. 1, optional location 8B*, allows for a 'collapsible' 2F handle that slides down to accommodate low shelf ceilings. While the handles in the carriers below can just slide between the cartons above it, this provides an independent solution to the top carrier's spacing.[000217] Location 13* are optional indentations 14 within the rear wall of the carrier foundation. This indentation allows space for straws or cartons with specific dimensional protrusions.[000218] Location 14* an optional cap indentation on Figs. 1-8. The carrier can hold packages with caps, pull tabs, and / or straws. Regardless of the type of opening being used on the package, the carrier can seamlessly secure any carton type listed through the two-tier security system via friction-suction feature (Figs. 3A-3D) and flap-lock feature (Figs. 4A-4J). If desired, the cap indentation 14, can remove the cap indentation, 14*, from the external compartment foundation, 1, if the carton does not possess a cap. However, this is not mandatory for proper security of each type of package. If location 14 remains on the carrier foundation for capless cartons, the carrier's insert process still works identically. Lastly, because this is an alternative security method for packages without using the cap's indentations as latches, the security system is compatible with any package opening. While the friction-suction feature and the flap-lock feature can be used together in the same carrier, each of them can be used independently in a carrier.[000219] Location 15 is the central compartmental carrier foundation on Figs. 1A-9B. Although it is not labeled in Figs. 8-9, the general foundation is specified, which should assume the presence of this structure. The Central Compartmental Foundation's, 13's, function is similar to The External Compartmental Foundation, 1, labeled on Figs. 1-6. Both locations are foundational pieces to the carrier that connect all of the cells together. Location 1 encompasses the perimeter of all 4 cells through the combination of all the individual functions. This external foundation is what holds the compartmental walls / dividers, 12. Insert holes, 11, friction-suction feature (3A*, 3B, and 3B1), flap-lock feature (4A-4H), etc., into one fixed perimeter that does not lose form. Just like Location 1 successfully maintains the position of all the functions previously mentioned, The Central Compartmental Carrier Foundation, 15, performs a supplementary function to Location by conjoining all the cells at a central meeting location.While Location 1 combines all the functions through the perimeter, Location 15 conjoins all the cells a second time through a central meeting location. Lastly, at the top of the Central Compartmental Carrier Foundation, 15, there is a thin slit that splits up Location 15. This gap is associated with handle insert Fig. 2F, (2F), where the top handle clicks into the two holes through the insert gap in location 12. This gap can be removed if the user chooses a handle type that is not Fig. 2F. If the user does not want to handle inserting 2F, the top slit, 15, can be removed so the conjoining foundation is now one solid material. This process described is the same process discussed in Fig. 21 when handle inserts 2A-2C were removed once the user selected top handle options. Just like handle inserts 2A-2C were removed from the foundation in Fig. 21, the same process can be conducted for handle insert 2F, 2H, 2G, or any of the handle inserts in general. As mentioned, the carrier is not limited to one carrying method because the carrier foundation can successfully secure cartons from any carrying method or angle.[000220] To insert a carton into the carrier, the carton is simply inserted up, into carrier cells 11 until the cell walls with the FST (Figs. 3A-3D) firmly grasp or engage the circumference or perimeter of the carton. Most cartons tend to be slightly thicker in the middle portion - due to either their natural shape or given their fluid contents- which naturally compliments the inverse curvature of the cell wall's FST (Figs. 3A-3D). As the container is slipped into the cell, location 11, one will know the carton without slide flaps is in place once the carton cannot be pushed up any further into the carrier. If the carton without side flaps has a protruding brim, like 3A1, once the carton reaches its highest pop, the carton will just pop over the top external foundation, location 1, and rest on the top of the carrier foundation, while the FST helps support below to maintain position. At this location, a carton without side flaps has been fully secured - the carton has reached its maximum friction capacity and the wall's curvature squeezes into the sides of the carton. Furthermore, the base of the compartmental wall has a slight protrusion built into the base, depicted at the compartmental base in Fig. 3C, that pinches the circumference of the carton from a different angle than the standard curvature built into the majority of the cell wall. This dynamic between both sources of pressure creates a suction between the carton and the compartmental wall. This feature is to ensure maximum FST (Fig.3C) for cartons without side flaps, regardless of the FST density, as the side flap lock (Fig. 4A-4I) is not present in those embodiments. Moreover, this feature helps strengthen the first pillar of the two-tier feature for both cartons with side flaps. Once a carton with side flaps reaches this location within the compartmental walls, the carton with side flaps will fill in the space bounded by ledge 26, ridge 5, support wall 7, and adjacent side walls 10, in inner pocket 6. If the carton is pushed slightly higher, the side flaps will naturally sit over security wall 7, and rest in primary pocket 22. The flap lock ensures that the carton is protected from any external contact, movement, or downward gravitational force that can pull the cartons out of the security cells, location 11. This is only a variable for cartons without side flaps given this carrier variation's use of only one tier feature. Gravitational force begins to become a stronger variable with cartons (with side flaps) over 1 L and quantities above 12. However, our FST is specifically multifaceted in a way to handle heavy cartons without side flaps through its pressure and suction- so the invention can still hold 1 L cartons in quantities over 8 when excluding the second her of security feature. Both tiers, isolated or together, are essentially the only two feasible methods for developing a base-less security system that carries most cartons. The carrier is compatible with all containers with side flaps. The carrier is compatible with all cartons without side flaps.[000221] As mentioned above, the process for removing the container from the carrier is the same regardless whether the carton is secured within Figs. 1 to 9. The user pinches in the flaps and pulls downward on the carton both firmly and consistently. However, if flap lock 22 (Figs. 4A-4J) has a high support wall 7, a primary pocket 22 and an inner pocket 6 for additional security, there is an additional step required to dislodge the flap lock (Figs. 4A-4J). When removing the container from pocket the user simply pinches the side flaps from the side flap locks (Figs. 4A-4J) and pushes down on the head of the carton. The carton should release its hold from the side flap locks and slide down through the cell. If the package is not fully dislodged, the user should, with mild force, push downwards on the top of the package once more. At this location, the carton will pop out the same direction it was inserted into the cells 11, of the primary carrier foundation 1. If the carton is secured with pocket 2, location 9, one must perform the same process as for pocket 1 with one additional step. Prior to pinching theside flaps inwards, the user must use one hand to push the carton upwards so the flaps are no longer resting on the high support wall, at location 7. Then, pinch the side flaps, push downwards, but keep pinching the side flaps as you press down. If the fingers are removed from the side flaps, the flaps will expand out again and fall into primary pocket 22 as inner pocket 6 serves as a minor security pocket in addition to primary pocket 22.[000222] The carrier's stacking characteristics are labeled in Figs. 8A-8B*. Regarding the carrier's stackability on shelves, there are three possible avenues for stacking when incorporating the three different foundations [1,2I,2J] and all possible handle directions (Figs. 2A-2H). In Fig. 2A-2C, the user can add a perpendicular handle to the foundation that is either bolted-in for mobility or fused in for strength. If the handle is fused, it will add a permanent 1.25 inch of space to the carrier when on shelves. If the handle is bolted-in / snap-fitted, like Figs. 2A-2C, the handle can be moved upwards and downwards to maximize shelf space to occupy less additional room. Fig. 2D is a cost effective, built-in finger indentation that lets the user grab the carrier through two little indentations instead of an entire handle. This method uses zero additional space. This completely minimizes shelf surface area, material costs, and complexity. The built-in finger indentation (Fig. 2D) is mainly applicable in instances where the four pack is below 750 ml due to the total width of the cartons once packaged. This pinch insert can also serve as a secondary handle option if a user wants an additional handle as well, Fig. 2E. If the user wants a top handle, the invention offers bolted-in (2E-2H), or fused handle inserts (2J- JlandJ2), that are all conveniently located so they slide into the gaps between the cartons stacked above them. Every top handle produced in the foundation is capable of sliding in between the gaps of the cartons when stacked on retail shelves. If the user wants a carrier like Fig. 2J, handle 2J1 is recommended because it can fit between the gaps of the cartons stacked above it and stabilize the vertical stack by doing so. However, snap-fit Handle Input Option 2F is typically recommended over 2J1 given its size minimization capabilities. As mentioned before, Fig. 2F also has an optional height minimizing function that adds a gap to divider, location 12, at location 8B*, where the handle can slide downwards to minimize the carrier's verticaldimensions when being shipped and retailed. Handle option 2F is typically the first handle recommended on all foundation types due to its universal feasibility.[000223] During shipment, the handle (Figs. 2A-2F) is either fused, bolted-in, or snap-fitted into the foundation. If the carrier's handle is snap-fitted / bolted-in, the handle can remain detached from the foundation during shipment and rest in the slit at Location 15 during shipment, if option 2F, and be clipped into the carrier later. The detachable handle options for Figs. 2A-2F will either have separate bolts plugged into the holes or built-in bolts that clip into the respective handle inserts through a snap-fit process. If the handle is fused, the additional dimensions, particularly for fused side handles, will need to be taken into account for boxing and shelf-space dimensions. As mentioned, the snap-fit or bolted-in handles that can be detached to minimize space during shipping are typically recommended over fused handles, like Fig. 2J. If the volume is heavy and the quantity is high, handle option 2F is still recommended over 2J1 because of its stability once locked into place. However, some users prefer a built-in handle, which is also depicted in the alternative foundation #3, Fig. 2J, through handle variations 2J1 2J2. The only downside with these possible fused handles are their fixed positions, consequently lacking any versatility when it comes to minimizing shelf space. If the cells are detachable, like Fig. 5B, the cells can be taken apart during shipment and reconstructed upon delivery to the respective retail store if the logistical packaging requires alternative dimensions to the carrier itself. This function, 5B, is compatible with all foundation variations displayed throughout the figures. The cells can simply be pulled apart and pushed together. If the carrier cubes are detached, handles should be stored in a separate location because they will not remain secure within a disconnected carrier. If the cells are foldable, pictured in Fig. 5A, the carrier can be folded in half on top of itself to minimize surface area as well.[000224] As mentioned, Figs. 5A-5B1, 6A-6B, 7A-7C, and 8B*, and even (9A-9B) are all just optional foundational functions that can be implemented. It is very easy to integrate and remove these functions from the core foundation described in Figs. 1-4 based on user preferences. From a granular perspective, the invention relates to the security-cell itself- itsfeatures, its variations / embodiments, its handle variants, and the entire spectrum of optional embodiments once the cells are combined. The entire spectrum of the security system (Figs. 1- 4) is not limited to the particular designs of these optional embodiments shown in Figs. 4-9. As the security system can take many different design forms, the invention is not limited to the designs set forth in Figs. 1 to 9.[000225] The carrier of the present invention can be formed or manufactured by conventional methods and processes known in the art. For instance, when the carton is formed from thermoplastics, injection molding or stamping of the entirety or constituent components can be used. When formed from thermoset plastics, molding can be used. 3-D printing may also be used. The carton can be formed of one piece or by assembly of separately formed multiple pieces, components, or parts. Useful thermoplastics include, by way of example, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polylactic acid (PLA), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and polycarbonate (PC). The plastics may be virgin, recycled, or combination thereof. The flap-lack and / or squeeze-lock configurations can be manufactured into the walls / dividers of the carrier during their formation or subsequently fabricated into the walls / dividers.[000226] The carrier of the present invention can also be formed or manufactured from cardboard and / or corrugated board by pulping and extrusion into a mold. The carrier can also be formed of corrugated cardboard sheets by conventional folding / stitching / pasting operations. The flap-lack and / or squeeze-lock configurations can subsequently be fabricated into the walls / dividers of the carrier.[000227] Regardless of material selected to construct the carrier, the material is sufficiently rigid to bear the weight of cartons secured therein and to accommodate handling and shipping of the cartons.[000228] Aseptic containers can be provided with or without side flaps. The carrier's two- tier feature can be independently deployed to accommodate the wider spectrum of base-less cartons beyond just cartons with side flaps. When the FST feature is used independently, the carrier can hold a variety of cartons without side-flaps. Non-limiting examples of cartons without side flaps include milk cartons, rectangular pouches, and other box-like containers.[000229] The carrier is not limited to the dimensions displayed in Figs. 1A-11B. A variety of different container embodiments are exemplified to illustrate the flexibility of the present structure's function across all cartons with side flaps and most cartons without side flaps. Based on a user's requirements, desired dimensions may vary based on the container configuration, volume, and quantity. The figures illustrate the same core-carrying foundation and modify security cell dimensions to size a desired package, a carrier will look visually similar to Fig. 1 but will be metrically different given adjustment for dimensions. Since the core security considerations remain constant while dimensions change, the core structure is substantially static apart from the size of the cells and the carrier itself. Because essential functions are substantially static from carrier to carrier, there are no limitations upon the dimensions of the carrier. There are many means of adjusting input cell dimensions, most commonly 3D digital mold editing prior to finalizing the process with mold injection, pressing, or printing.[000230] There are many types of commercially produced aseptic, retortable, and chillable cartons. The present carrier is compatible with substantially all of these cartons. Examples of such cartons are those depicted in Figs. 9A-9B. As long as the carrier foundation, in any variation type, can tightly or snugly fit around a carton's circumference or perimeter, the carton is compatible with the present carrier's foundation. The carrier is compatible with all packages with side flaps and most packages without side flaps given the two tiers of features that can be simultaneously or separately used. Regardless of carton cap type, volume, or dimensions, the present carrier can be adjusted to secure any carton with side flaps as long as foundational dimensions align.[000231] Given the carrier's 2-tier security system for packages with side-flaps, the present carrier device is not limited to only one type of handle or carrying method because the cartons are secured from all possible directions within the carrier. Moreover, this means the carrier can be handled from any position or any handle location. Because the cartons are secured from all possible angles, the handle for our carrier can be placed on its side like Fig. 2A-C or on the top like Figs. 2D-2G. Moreover, the handle can be fused to the core foundation instead of being bolted-in per user desire. Moreover, this means that since the carrier can withstand any carrying angle, regardless of how many security tiers being used. The handle options are universal. Handle placement can be dictated by user preference.[000232] There are practically no limitations regarding the quantity of cartons that can be carried within a single carton carrier regardless of carton volumes. The present carrier foundation can hold volumes up to 20 times heavier than the intended weight per carton.For example, Fig. 1A only has four input holes / cells to receive a 4-pack of cartons. However, the carrier structure is not limited to 4 input holes / cells. In fact, during evaluation phase, a carrier with 56 different holes / slots to carry 56 different cartons was produced. There are no quantity limitations besides the limitations retailers specify. If a user requires carriers produced in sets of 4-packs, 8-packs, 24-packs, 32-packs, and 48-packs, the present carrier accommodates that. If a user needs 100-pack carriers, the present carrier accommodates that. The invention is not limited by the number of packs in a carrier.[000233] The carrier is strong enough and secure enough to hold up to whatever number of cartons needed in one fixed carrier at whatever volume. For placement options for security cells, such cells can be stacked on top of existing input cells (Fig. 7C left) or adjacent to the existing 4 holes (Fig. 7C center / right).[000234] It should be understood that the foregoing description is only illustrative of the present disclosure. Various alternatives and modifications can be devised by those skilled in theart without departing from the present disclosure. Accordingly, the present disclosure is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variances which fall within the scope of the appended claims.
