A compression supporting package divider set. Within the scope of the invention, there is a divider having an upper edge and a spaced-apart lower edge, the upper and lower edges being connected by a side edge forming an end of the divider. A cut line extends from one of the upper and lower edges to an interior point of the divider spaced from the upper and lower edges and from the side edge. A fold line for folding the divider defines an axis of rotation intersecting the upper and lower edges and terminates at the interior point. The fold line is provided such that a first side flange portion of the divider defined between the cut line and the axis of rotation rotates about the axis together with a second side flange portion of the divider defined between the fold line and the side edge, thereby causing the first and second side flange portions to extend on opposite sides of the divider.
A compression supporting divider set comprising a divider having an upper edge and a spaced-apart lower edge, said upper and lower edges each terminating at a side edge forming an end of said divider, said divider further comprising a fold line extending between a first interior point on said divider proximate said upper edge and a second interior point on said divider proximate said lower edge, said first and second interior points spaced from said upper, lower, and side edges, said fold line defining a folding axis of rotation for said end of said divider that passes through a first point of intersection with said upper edge, and a first cut line extending from said first interior point to a first edge point on said upper edge that is on a side of said folding axis that is opposite said side edge, wherein a first portion of said upper edge defined between said first edge point and said first point of intersection and a second portion of said upper edge defined between said first point of intersection and said side edge are provided such that folding said divider along said fold line extends said first and second portions of said upper edge outwardly from said divider in opposite directions.
