ABSTRACT:
A carton for shipping fragile wares comprising a regular slotted container and an insert for suspending the wares between the top, bottom and side panels of the regular slotted container. The insert is characterized in that it includes upwardly and downwardly sloping sidewalls which meet at a vertex to form a "v" shape. The fragile wares are placed on the downwardly sloping sidewalls of the insert and the top of the container is closed, thereby clamping the fragile wares away from the sides, top, and bottom of the container. This suspension construction protects the wares from outside shocks and forces during shipping. Preferably, the insert of the present invention is formed from two symmetric "C" shaped pieces and is made of corrugated cardboard.
