Abstract
Abstract Filler sheets for packaging ice cream cones in cartons are corrugated and folded to provide upstanding panels which support succeeding sheets in alternating relation. Each filler sheet has rows and columns of pockets for holding individual ice cream cones. The sheets are so designed that the upper edges of the upstanding panels lie in a plane above the upper edges of the cones in the pockets.
