<p>A collapsible protective carton of corrugated cardboard is constructed from either one or two blanks (11) and contains a suspended product protecting cradle (23, 25, 27, 29, 31) dividing the carton interior into upper, lower, and central compartments. The central compartment is the primary product holding compartment, while the upper and lower compartments provide both protection against crushing and potential additional storage space for flat items such as instruction manuals or computer disks. At each end of the carton, a diagonal web member (119, 121) assists in locating the product in the center of the carton and provides additional protection against blows or pressure upon either end of the assembled carton. Cut-outs (103, 105, 107, 109, 111, 113, 115, 117) in two of the panels (25, 29) defining the central compartment serve not only to help position the central compartment with the outer carton but also to weaken those panels sufficiently to permit light products to deform the diagonal web members more readily if the carton should be dropped.</p> |
