A packaging arrangement which prevents damage to fragile articles such as automobile windshields and the like. Upper and lower slotted braces extend in pairs between opposite side walls of an outer shipping crate. The windshields are held in slots formed in the braces. A bracket plate having sharp teeth projecting in opposite directions therefrom is interposed between end flaps of the braces and the corresponding side walls of the crate. The teeth bite into the end flaps and side walls in order to anchor the braces in place relative to the crate. A tightly held strap extends along both braces in each pair and along the outside surfaces of both side walls of the crate in order to press the walls inwardly against the bracket plate. An alternative form of the bracket includes a horizontal flange having additional teeth which bite into the brace, along with a boss which resists twisting of the bracket.
