Abstract: An insert for a crate end cap is disclosed. The insert includes a substrate having a main body portion and a foldable tab extending from an edge of the main body portion. A plurality of support members is coupled to a surface of the substrate, at least one support member being coupled to the main body portion and at least one other support member being coupled to the foldable tab. The insert is removably received within a cavity of the crate end cap and maintained therein by a frictional engagement between the insert and the walls of the crate end cap forming the cavity thereof. The insert provides cushioning for objects placed in the cavity of the crate end cap.
