A bottle packer grid assembly is disclosed which is capable of packing two cases simultaneously wherein the construction provides the capability for each individual single case grid section to be separately removable from the surrounding support structure. The configuration of the packer grid basically includes four transverse members and preferably five longitudinally extending members which divide the bottles to be packed into grids of variable numbers of rows and columns, the most common being 4x6. Preferably a dead plate support is positioned to hold one bottle in between the two cases being loaded in order to better maintain alignment with the cases positioned therebelow. The cooperation of a plurality of pin means with the transversely extending members which define apertures therein for receiving the pin means allows two arrays of 4x6 with a dead bottle position therebetween and yet allow upon removal of certain pins the easy maintenance of a specific bottle receiving cell. Also, maintenance of the guide means located along the longitudinally extending members is facilitated since each grid is itself individually removable from the main structure. A retaining bar is preferably included in which is affixed the two central pin sections to maintain a specific spaced relation between each of the packer grids and thereby maintain proper orientation for a dead bottle position located therebetween. Each of the pins extending through the side rails is maintained within a slot defined therein which is longitudinally elongated to allow longitudinal adjustment of the grids with respect to one another and with respect to the surrounding environmental structure.
