Abstract

A container package assembly includes two support members. Both the support members have a top, a bottom, a first side, a second side, and a vertical support. For each support member, the vertical support is integrally engaged to the top, the bottom, the first side, and the second side. For each support member, the top is substantially parallel to the bottom, the first side is substantially parallel to the second side, and the vertical support is substantially perpendicular to the top and the bottom. For each support member, the first side and the second side have a top edge and a bottom edge, the top edge having a top edge length and the bottom edge having a bottom edge length, the top edge length being less than the bottom edge length. The vertical support of the first support member is immediately adjacent the vertical support of the second support member.
