There are two tiers of assemblies in each carton and each tier may support, for example, eight taillight assemblies. The assemblies are arranged parallel to each other with each of the ends of the assemblies resting on two parallel laterally-spaced boards; two second boards rest on top of the ends of the assemblies and the ends of the second tier of taillight assemblies rest on the second boards. Two third boards rest on the top of the ends of the second tier of taillight assemblies and the entire arrangement of the first tier and second tier are disposed in the carton.
