ABSTRACT:
A carton for packaging an object such as a tape cassette or an 8-track tape cartridge includes bottom, top, side and end walls which form an outer carton, and an inner carton portion formed within the outer carton for preventing movement of the contained object in first or lateral horizontal directions, in a second or longitudinal horizontal direction and in a vertical direction. In a preferred embodiment, the inner carton portion is formed from a flap hingedly connected to an outer wall. The flap is folded to form an inner horizontal wall within the outer carton and is further folded to form an inner vertical wall within the outer carton, thereby defining a first compartment beneath the inner vertical wall and a second compartment on the other side of the inner vertical wall. Two side-by-side tabs are formed on the flap adjacent the inner vertical wall. The first tab is folded along the same fold line separating the horizontal and vertical inner walls at an angle relative to each of the inner walls so that it extends into the first compartment and abuts a portion of the object contained within the first compartment thereby preventing movement in a second horizontal direction. The second tab extends in an opposite direction from the first tab into the second compartment so that it abuts a portion of the object contained within the second compartment, thereby preventing movement in a second horizontal direction. The sizes of the two compartments are different so that the carton is adapted to package one of two different size objects.
