- (a) a major side panel adapted to lie against a major sidewall of an outer container and having foldably joined to opposite end edges thereof on parallel fold lines a pair of end panels adapted to lie against opposed end walls of said outer container;
- (b) a first minor side panel adapted to lie against a central portion of said major side panel and having one edge joined to an adjacent edge of said major side panel along a fold line which is disposed normal to said parallel fold lines;
- (c) a pair of intermediate panels having corresponding end edges foldably joined to opposite end edges of said first minor side panel and extending normal to said major side panel in parallel relation with said end panels;
- (d) a pair of second minor side panels foldably joined at corresponding end edges to adjacent end edges of respective intermediate panels and adapted to extend between said intermediate panels and said end panels and to lie against another major sidewall of said outer container.
