Abstract
A carton with two compartments and a blank for forming same has a collapsible divider panel hingedly coupled to interior surfaces of two adjacent side walls of the carton. The divider panel has a fold line extending from the corner thereof at the fold line between the two adjacent wall panels and extending at acute angles relative to the hinged edges of the divider panel. This permits the carton to be shipped and stored in an essentially flat, collapsed configuration and then easily rearranged to its assembled, expanded configuration by the application of inwardly directed forces against the side edges of the flat, collapsed configuration of the carton. These forces cause the divider panel to move automatically with the movement of the side wall panels of the carton.
