A packaging assembly, comprising:
- one or more corrugated corner elements, each of said corrugated corner elements having an inner wall and an outer wall and extending, along a longitudinal axis, from a first end portion to a second end portion, a vertex of each of said corrugated corner elements extending along said longitudinal axis;
- each of said corrugated corner elements having a first corner post element leg, extending laterally from said vertex, said first corner post element leg having one or more alternating ridges and grooves, each of said alternating ridges and grooves of said first corner post element leg extending along said longitudinal axis of each of said corrugated corner elements;
- each of said corrugated corner elements having a second corner post element leg, extending laterally from said vertex and away from said first corner post element leg, said second corner post element leg having one or more alternating ridges and grooves, each of said alternating ridges and grooves of said second corner post element leg extending along said longitudinal axis of each of said corrugated corner elements;
- at least two spaced endcap elements, wherein each endcap element comprises a support layer portion and a tray layer portion, wherein said support layer portion extends to four corners, wherein said tray layer portion includes a corner recess formed proximate each corner of said support layer portion, and wherein each of said corrugated corner elements is formed to be at least partially positioned within a respective one of said corner recesses;
- and
- a support insert having a support insert body extending from a first end to a second end, wherein a void or gap is formed through a portion of said support insert body, extending from said first end to said second end, wherein a relief recess is formed within at least a portion of said support insert body, extending from said first end into at least a portion of said support insert body to allow at least a portion of one of said corrugated corner elements to be fitted within at least a portion of said relief recess, wherein a scalloped relief recess is formed within at least a portion of said support insert body, extending from said first end into at least a portion of said support insert body to allow at least a portion of one of said corrugated corner elements to be fitted within at least a portion of said scalloped relief recess, wherein one or more projections extend within a portion of said scalloped relief recess, from a lower wall portion of said scalloped relief recess toward said first end, wherein each of said one or more projections extends to interface with at least one of said grooves formed in said inner wall of said corrugated corner element.
