Abstract
A carton divider is provided for dividing the interior of a carton into cells for receiving containers, and which is constructed so as to avoid scuffing of labels applied to the containers. The carton divider comprises at least one longitudinal partition, and at least one separate transverse partition which intersects the longitudinal partition and cooperates therewith to define a plurality of cells, with the cell walls thereof serving to separate adjacent containers from contact with one another. An opening is formed in at least one cell wall of each cell, with the opening being so arranged as to prevent contact of the cell wall with selected portions of the container where the label is applied to thereby prevent scuffing of the label.
