A packaging insert comprising:
- a first portion contiguous to a second portion along a first line;
- a third portion contiguous to the second portion along a second line, and
- a fourth portion contiguous to the third portion along a third line;
- wherein the first portion, second portion, third portion, and fourth portions are part of a single piece of material configured such that when folded, a back surface of the second portion is adjacent a back surface of the third portion, and the first line is positioned adjacent the third line and when unfolded, the first portion is not adjacent to the fourth portion.
A package comprising:
- a packaging insert comprising:
- a first portion contiguous to a second portion along a first line;
- a third portion contiguous to the second portion along a second line, and
- a fourth portion contiguous to the third portion along a third line;
- wherein the first portion, second portion, third portion, and fourth portions are part of a single piece of material configured such that when folded, a back surface of the second portion is adjacent a back surface of the third portion, and the first line is positioned adjacent the third line and when unfolded, the first portion is not adjacent to the fourth portion;
- and
- a container including a bottom, a top opening, and a container wall defining an interior space, wherein the interior space is divided into a first section bounded by the first portion and the second portion of the insert, a second section bounded by the third portion and the fourth portion of the insert, and a third section bounded by the first portion and the fourth portion of the insert.
A method of forming a packaging insert comprising:
- providing a single piece of material including a first portion, a second portion adjacent to the first portion, a third adjacent to the second portion, and a fourth portion adjacent to the third portion, the fourth portion not being adjacent to the first portion;
- folding the single piece of material in a first direction along a line between the second portion and the third portion to form a first folding edge;
- folding the single piece of material in a second direction opposite the first direction along a line between the first portion and the second portion to form a second folding edge;
- folding the single piece of material in the second direction along a line between the third portion and the fourth portion to form a third folding edge;
- and
- moving the second folding edge to be adjacent the third folding edge.
