A divider is provided to facilitate loading the two tiers of containers and an end of the divider is folded down to facilitate its correct placement on the bottom tier of cans. A slit is provided between the two end portions of the divider so cans can be removed from the dispenser without being impeded by the divider being in the way.

Abstract: Manufacturers of extruded profiles have two major problems with the present packaging material, i.e. a too low stability and the fact that the profiles are not separated in the package. Extruded profiles are often manufactured in short series, which puts high demands on short turnaround times, also when packaging the profiles. Another demand is that the products should be packed so as to take up the smallest volume possible. The present invention solves this problem by folding a sheet to form partition walls (B) on which a second insert is resting, so that each profile is completely separated from the others and each layer is only carrying its own weight. The sheet may be folded so that the compartments assume different height and width, both within a layer and between different layers. The stability is obtained by attaching, preferably by gluing, the partition walls, or, alternatively, the folded sheet, on a base plate (A) which may consist of the same material as the partition walls.

The method of assembly includes the layout of the blank container upon machinery, the precise positioning of the collapsed partition thereon, folding select walls in sequence of the container, into the tubular form, to provide a collapsed partitioned container for shipment or storage, and subsequent erecting for reception of other packaged goods within the integral partition cells.
