Abstract: A packaging filler insert includes a first packaging filler insert end and a second packaging filler insert end. A first packaging filler insert side extends from the first packaging filler insert end to the second packaging filler insert end and a second packaging filler side extends from the first packaging filler insert end to the second packaging filler insert end. An outer packaging filler insert face has at least one tab, and an inner packaging filler insert face located and positioned opposite from the outer packaging filler face. A pair of filler inserts are positioned between upper and lower portions of an item that is shipped in a carton, to provide support for the upper portion, such as via engagement with corner posts positioned between the filler inserts and adjacent corners of the carton.
