Abstract
Abstract An improved sub-divider panel construction for dividing or subdividing the space within a carton. The sub-divider panels which are adapted to project outwardly from opposite sides of the main body of the main divider panel are proportioned so that the subdivider panels of adjacent panels may be arranged one above the other and extending inwardly from opposite sides of the space defined between adjacent main body panels. This construction prevents the dividers to be located in sequence between the articles which are to be spaced thereby by lowering from above the articles which are to be spaced.
