Container with integral spacer

A container comprising:

• a bottom having a bottom panel aperture;
• opposing first and second sidewalls extending upward from said bottom;
• an end wall formed of complementary first and second end wall flaps extending inward from said first and second sidewalls, respectively, each said end wall flap forming a respective inner panel spaced from a respective outer panel defining a gap therebetween, said first end wall flap having a first end wall aperture, said second end wall flap having a second end wall flap aperture;
• and
• a center flap extending upward from said bottom and securing with said first end wall flap and said second end wall flap, said center flap having an end opposite said bottom adapted to fit through said first end wall flap aperture and said second end wall flap aperture and lockingly engages with said bottom panel aperture.

A container having a reduced inside length dimension relative to its corresponding outside length dimension, said container comprising:

• a plurality of panels defining a bottom panel and a first sidewall panel opposite a second sidewall panel, said first and second sidewall panels foldably joined to said bottom panel;
• a first end flap foldably joined to an end of said first sidewall panel;
• and
• a second end flap foldably joined to an end of said second sidewall panel,
• a center flap foldably joined to said bottom panel and having a height less than the height of said first and second end flaps,
• whereby said first end flap and second end flap foldable to form an integral spacer spanning across an interior width dimension of the container, said first end flap and said second end flap foldable to define a gap between portions of said first end flap and said second end flap, respectively, to thereby provide for the reduced inside length dimension of the container.
