Abstract
A corner post made of folded corrugated paperboard is inserted into the corner areas of cartons containing, for example, large appliances, such as stoves, refrigerators, washing machines, or the like. The corner post is a multi ply device which ensures that there will be adequate space between the appliance and the carton wall, and which provides strength for the carton so that multiple filled cartons can be stacked on top of each other. The post is provided with fold lines which are made up of alternating cuts and scores to provide for easy folding of the post. The post is machine folded and glued to a flattened form which is suitable for bulk shipment. The post is easily transformed from the flattened to the erected form and inserted into the corner areas of the cartons.
