An article support tray for supporting a plurality of articles, such as beverage cans, in predetermined spaced relationship to one another in a package containing a plurality of such articles, comprises a flat sheet with article engaging raised ribs on one surface which engage and wedge in place bottom ends of the articles to prevent rubbing together of the articles. A plurality of ribs engage each article around its periphery, and the ribs are shaped to automatically properly align the articles on the tray as the articles near their final position on the tray. The shape and disposition of the ribs on the tray are such that the articles are enabled to slide freely over the surface of the tray until the articles reach their final position of wedged engagement with the tray, and the ribs also reinforce the tray, permitting a very thin, lightweight, inexpensive structure to be used.
