A unitary paperboard blank for construction of an "L" shaped shipping carton for an irregularly shaped article such as a rocking chair comprises appropriately folded panels forming the top, rear, bottom, front, first knee and second knee carton surfaces. The sides are formed by closure of cushioned flaps which are pivotally articulated at opposite sides of certain of the panels. The "L" shaped carton has at least one inside inverse corner which may be formed of an offset joint and which may be used in conjunction with an extension to secure and protect the enclosed article. The cushioned side flaps may overlap to provide additional protection and the carton may be pre-assembled with the article placed into it from the side, or the article may be placed on the blank and the carton assembled around the article.
