Abstract
A wedge for bracing cylindrical cargo elements is made from a cushioning material, especially cellular cushioning material, and is formed from a single sheet of the material. First and second wing panels are floded back on the central panel to form a wedge of increased thickness. The wedge is particularly useful for bracing rolls of paper in a cargo container so that the rolls of paper do not suffer any damage during transit.
