A system for the storing and shipping of containers wherein a plurality of interlocked partitions divide an inner cavity of a carton into a plurality of compartments each of which is adapted to receive a container and wherein the largest cross-sectional configuration of the container is located within each compartment and which largest cross-sectional configuration includes a label secured to the container and wherein each compartment is provided with means ensuring that there is no contact between the label and at least a plurality of the sidewalls defining each compartment to protect the label from abrasion, tearing or other undesirable forces.

A system for storing and shipping of containers each of which has a body portion having a cylindrical outer surface, a relatively narrow neck portion and a top portion and a bottom portion and with a label secured at least to a central portion of the body portion so that portions of the cylindrical outer surface are between the label and the neck portion and the label and the bottom portion so that the system protects the label from abrasive forces comprising: a carton having at least a first pair of opposed sidewalls extending in one direction, a second pair of opposed sidewalls extending in a direction perpendicular to said first pair of opposed sidewalls and a bottom wall of which are joined together to form an inner cavity for said carton; a first plurality of partitions located within said cavity, extending in a direction parallel to said one direction of said first pair of opposed sidewalls, and supported by said bottom wall; a second plurality of partitions located within said cavity, extending in a direction perpendicular to said first plurality of partitions, and supported by said bottom wall; said first plurality of partitions and said second plurality of partitions being joined together in an interlocking relationship to form a plurality of compartments having sidewalls formed by portions of said second plurality of partitions and portions of said second plurality of partitions with one container being located in each of said compartments so that the greatest cross-sectional configuration of said container in said compartment comprises a cross-sectional configuration including said label; said compartments having opposed sidewalls spaced apart a linear distance greater than the cross-sectional configuration of the container and label so that a container may be inserted into each compartment without contacting the sidewalls thereof. said sidewalls of said compartments having a length greater than the length of said body portion; an opening formed in each of said sidewalls of said compartments formed by said first and second partitions; said opening having a length substantially less than said length of said sidewalls but greater than the length of said label in the same direction; and said opening having a width substantially less than the width of said sidewall but great enough so that when said cylindrical outer surface of said body portion of said container above and below said label contacts other portions of one sidewall of said compartment above and below said opening said label will not contact any portion of said one sidewall.
