Abstract
A packing insert includes a panel that defines a periphery, a location inward of the periphery, and a plurality of flaps each defining an outer end and an inner end such that each flap extends inwardly from its outer end to its inner end. Each of the flaps is foldable about its outer end so that the flaps collectively define a void. A first one of the flaps has a second outer end spaced outwardly from the outer end of the first flap. The panel defines at least one frangible portion between the outer end and the second outer end of the first flap. The first flap is selectively foldable about 1) its outer end so as to at least partially define the void, and 2) its second outer end, after breaking the at least one frangible portion, so as to increase a size of the void.
