Multiple partition structure for paperboard container

摘要

An improved integral multiple partition structure for a paperboard container is formed from an integral paperboard blank having a pair of panels connected only along a central connecting portion about which the panels are folded to form the partition structure without separating the panels one from the other. The partition structure may also be made from a portion of an integral paperboard container blank, again allowing the partition to be erected into the completed carton without separating the partition structure from the blank or from either of the partition panels. The partition structure may include a lock for locking the two partition panels into the substantially perpendicular cross-dividing position of the erected partition structure. The panels and the folding connecting portion thereof may be shaped to compensate for the flaps of the container being shorter than the depth of the completed container itself.
