Abstract
A container for door panels or other articles includes a sling divider having transverse support rods equally spaced along a flexible web. The ends of the rods are received in vertically staggered pairs of side wall pockets so that web sections form slings of different depths relative to the top of the container and thus allow the laterally projecting portions of the articles to deform the web and overlap to accommodate more articles in a container of given length. In the preferred embodiment, the container is rectangular with longer side and shorter end walls, and is nestable with nesting stops that establish a nesting space between the bottom walls of two nested containers, and the support rods are long enough to extend between the side walls but are shorter than the distance between the end walls so the sling divider can be removed, turned, and stored in the nesting space.
