Abstract

A grid-like article divider for packing cartons, of foamed plastic such as polyurethane or polyethylene, the divider having spaced parallel stringer panels and transverse panels hinged to the longitudinal panels, the divider being formed in collapsed condition from a solid slab of foamed plastic which is die cut with slits or cleavage to define the side faces of all of the longitudinal and transverse panels and holes, and with hinging sections arranged so that the plugs deformed at the holes drop out and the ends of the transverse panel swing against the longitudinal panels in the grid-like divider.
