An insert formed from a one-piece blank of sheet material. The insert comprises a first half comprising a first plurality of connected panels; a second half connected to the first half and comprising a corresponding, second plurality of connected panels; a first and second end comprising lateral extensions extending from respective first and second opposing ends of two panels from each of the first and second plurality of panels; and a plurality of popout tabs extending outward from an outer surface of the insert. The first and second half define respective first and second internal receiving areas each surrounded on all sides and on opposing ends by (i) two layers of the sheet material and/or (ii) an air gap defined between the outer surface of the insert and an adjacent portion of an overwrap material. A one-piece blank of sheet material for forming a shipping insert is also provided.

A container assembly comprises a container having a peripheral side wall defining a rectangular interior space and having top flap and bottom flaps folded inwardly to selectively enclose the interior space. The bottom flaps include notched edges for interlocking to maintain corners of the peripheral side wall square. An insert is removably receivable in the rectangular interior space. The insert comprises first and second panels of sheet material selectively folded to define a plurality of rectangular mold cavities in the interior space. Distal edges of the panels are notched wherein the notched edges interlock at the corners of the peripheral side wall to maintain the mold cavities square.

A construct for providing divider features in the interior of a carton includes a plurality of panels including at least one end panel and at least one side panel foldably connected to the at least one end panel, and divider features including a plurality of divider flaps foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels forming at least one divider wall of the construct for forming a plurality of container receiving spaces in the interior of the carton.

A box can include a container portion, the container portion defining a top end and a bottom end, the container portion defining a cavity, the container portion including a main panel; and a side panel including a first side subpanel and a second side subpanel, the first side subpanel hingedly coupled to the main panel; and a dividing portion disposed within the cavity, the dividing portion defining a plurality of cells within the cavity, the dividing portion including a first dividing wing coupled to the first side subpanel; and a second dividing wing coupled to the second side subpanel.

A separator of items of the bottle type from a cardboard template, with said separator comprising a longitudinal partition wall that separates two opposing rows of bottles and a set of vertical foldable flaps that prevent the lateral contact between bottles of the same row. The separator comprises a first type of sheet and a second type of sheet. Each sheet has a central partition wall and two vertical, equidistant each other flaps. Each flap comprises two vertical adjacent portions, one distal portion and one proximal portion. The flaps are joined to its corresponding sheet through vertical folding lines. These folding lines are located in the vertical direction of the partition wall and are laterally displaced in relation to an imaginary plane which is perpendicular to the partition wall, going through bottles of the same row of bottles. This displacement is equal to about one fourth the bottle diameter.

Distal edges of the panels are notched wherein the notched edges interlock at the corners of the peripheral side wall to maintain the mold cavities square.

A packaging system for a corrugated cardboard shipping container. The system uses two vertical compartmented inserts divided by a horizontal insert. The compartmented insert can be configured by a packer to consist of four to two rectangular compartments. The horizontal insert can be folded in half or have a quarter section folded away in order to accommodate a loading plan that requires items to protrude above the height of the bottom vertical compartmented insert. An optional diagonal divider and dunnage may be used prior to sealing the container.
