         6 . The unitary blank of  claim 1 , wherein a width of the carrier divider panel is greater than a width of the interior of the portable carrier. 
     
     
         7 . A unitary blank configured to be assembled into a portable carrier, the unitary blank comprising:
 a bottom panel;   a plurality of side panels connected with the bottom panel;   a top panel connected with one of the side panels and having a first aperture;   a handle panel connected with the top panel along a fold line, the handle panel having a second aperture;   a handle connected with the handle panel;   wherein the handle panel folds along the fold line and overlaps the top panel; and   wherein the handle is inserted through the first aperture and the second aperture when the handle panel folds along the fold line and overlaps the top panel.   
     
     
         8 . The unitary blank of  claim 7 , wherein the first aperture is aligned with the second aperture when the handle panel folds along the fold line and overlaps the top panel. 
     
     
         9 . The unitary blank of  claim 7 , wherein the first aperture and the second aperture have the same dimensions. 
     
     
         10 . The unitary blank of  claim 7 , wherein the first aperture is rectangular with a length substantially the same as a length of the handle. 
     
     
         11 . A portable carrier, comprising:
 a bottom panel;   a top panel;   a plurality of side panels connected with the bottom panel and the top panel; and   a carrier divider panel connected with one of the side panels;   wherein prior to assembly, the portable carrier includes perforations bounding a portion of the carrier divider panel; and   wherein the carrier divider panel is detached from the side panel and inserted between the top panel and the bottom panel.   
     
     
         12 . The portable carrier of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a front panel hingedly attached to the bottom panel and configured to move from a closed position where the front panel is perpendicular to the bottom panel and attached to the top panel, to an open position where the front panel is not perpendicular to the bottom panel and not attached to the top panel;   wherein an interior of the portable carrier is accessible when the front panel is in the open position, and is not accessible when the front panel is in the closed position.   
     
     
         13 . The portable carrier of  claim 12 , wherein the carrier divider panel is inserted between the top panel and the bottom panel when the front panel is in the open position. 
     
     
         14 . The portable carrier of  claim 11 , wherein the carrier divider panel includes an insulating material. 
     
     
         15 . The portable carrier of  claim 11 , wherein the carrier divider panel includes at least one aperture forming a container holder. 
     
     
         16 . The portable carrier of  claim 11 ,
 wherein the carrier divider panel further comprises:
 a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge; 
 a first edge portion adjacent to the first edge; 
 a second edge portion adjacent to the second edge; 
 a center portion between the first edge portion and the second edge portion; 
   wherein the portable carrier further comprises:
 a first corner edge extending along a junction of the bottom panel and a first side panel; 
 a second corner edge extending along a junction of the bottom panel and a second side panel opposite the first side panel; 
   wherein the first edge of the carrier divider panel is inserted along the first corner edge of the portable carrier;   wherein the second edge of the carrier divider panel is inserted along the second corner edge of the portable carrier;   wherein the center portion of the carrier divider panel is parallel to the bottom panel; and   wherein the first edge portion and the second edge portion of the carrier divider panel are not parallel to the bottom panel.   
     
     
         17 . A portable carrier, comprising:
 a bottom panel;   a top panel having a first aperture;   a plurality of side panels connected with the bottom panel and the top panel;   a handle panel connected with the top panel and having a second aperture, the handle panel in an assembled state being folded along a fold line separating the handle panel from the top panel so that the handle panel overlaps the top panel; and   a handle attached to the handle panel and, in the assembled state, inserted through the first aperture and the second aperture.   
     
     
         18 . The portable carrier of  claim 17 , wherein the first aperture is aligned with the second aperture in the assembled state.
