A void filler (10) has intersecting cellular or prismatic members (16, 34) that are disposed inside of an exterior housing (14). Sides (46, 44; 64, 66) of the prismatic members are disposed to be perpendicular to the substantially vertical sides (20, 22; 26, 28) of the outer housing (14), and are disposed at angles to each other. The sides (44, 46) are superimposed on sides (64, 66) in elevational section, so that they coact to provide resistance against compressive forces. Despite the increase in compressive strength thus provided, the void filler (10) occupies only four thicknesses of cardboard in a collapsed condition.
