Abstract
A shipping and display container for bottles or other frangible articles, in which mating insert half sections of cardboard or other material have recessed portions defining supports for nesting and supporting the articles along three spatial axes. An insert section may be used as a display container for the article or articles, and two insert sections placed together in mirror image relationship from opposite sides of the articles and placed in a box form a container for shipment. The insert sections are each formed from a single blank, and may be shipped flat or in an erected or partially erected condition. Panels of the insert sections interlock when erected to hold the insert section in erected condition, and adhesive may be used between some panels to assist in holding the insert section erected and to enhance the strength and rigidity of the insert section.
