A carton of foldable material protects an article packed therein by holding the article away from the bottom of the carton, and preferably by holding the article firmly, yet in a cushioning manner, in a position spaced away from all the exterior walls of the carton. The carton is assembled from a blank of foldable material defining a plurality of spacer panels foldably connected to automatic bottom panels, such that when the carton is erected, the auto-bottom panels form a generally planar bottom of the carton, and the spacer panels extend generally axially into the carton from the bottom to form a two-dimensional support base for holding an object at a location spaced above the bottom of the carton. A top closure includes a clamping member extending into the carton, such that when the carton is closed, the spacer panels and the clamping member are urged against opposite ends of the object within the carton, to hold the object therebetween.
