A corrugated cardboard box comprising:

• a first vertical compartmented insert nested within the corrugated cardboard box, wherein the first vertical compartmented insert comprises a rectangular vertical array of interior dividing walls forming there between a plurality of rectangular compartments, each having a storage volume, the compartmented insert comprising:
• a pair of back-to-back long support inserts extending along a length of the corrugated cardboard box to form a longitudinal vertical wall, each one of the pair of long support inserts having a plurality of interlocking cutouts that registers with a respective interlocking cutout of another of the pair of long support inserts;
• a plurality of pairs of short support inserts, the pairs of short support inserts assembled back-to-back and arrayed perpendicularly to the pair of long support inserts to form a plurality of lateral walls, each of the plurality of pairs of back-to-back short support insert assemblies having registration of interlocking cutouts to form a common cutout in the back-to-back assembly, the interlocking cutouts of the pairs of back-to-back short support inserts registering with and mechanically locking with the interlocking cutout of the pair of long support inserts such that the pair of long support inserts and the plurality of back-to-back short support inserts create the plurality of rectangular compartments there between;
• wherein each of the pair of long support inserts has a middle panel flanked by a first side panel and a second side panel, such that in deployed position in the corrugated box, the first side panels of each of the back-to-back long support inserts extend outboard in opposite directions at right angles to the middle panel, abut flush against, and urge against a first interior wall surface of the corrugated box, and the second side panels of each of the back-to-back long support inserts extend outboard in opposite directions at right angles to the middle panel, abut flush against, and urge against a second interior wall surface, opposite to the first interior wall surface, of the corrugated box;
• wherein each of the plurality of back-to-back assemblies of short support inserts includes a middle panel, flanked by a first side panel and a second side panel, such that in deployed position in the corrugated box, the first side panels of each of the back-to-back short support inserts extend outward in opposite directions at right angles to said middle panel, abut flush against, and urge against a third interior wall surface of the corrugated box, and the second side panels of each of the back-to-back short support inserts extend outward in opposite directions at right angles to said middle panel, abut flush against, and urge against a fourth wall surface, opposite to the third interior wall surface of the corrugated box;
• wherein a sum of horizontal lengths of opposed side panels at an end of each of the pair of back-to-back long support inserts is equal to a width of a respective interior wall against which the side panels abut;
• and
• wherein a sum of horizontal lengths of opposed side panels at an end of each of the back-to-back short support inserts is less than a width of a respective interior walls against which the side panels abut.
