Disclosed are partitions formed from a single blank that can be folded and glued on standard machinery, and that can be folded into an erected partition and loaded with product into a container using standard machinery. In certain embodiments, the partitions have a universal nature due to the curvilinear nature of the flaps of the partitions, which allow the partition to be used with bottles and other product of different dimensions.

1. A partition formed from a single piece of foldable material comprising: a first panel, a second panel, and a third panel configured such that the third panel is folded onto the second panel about a first fold line at an interface between the second and third panels and the first panel is folded onto the third panel about a second fold line at an interface between the first and second panels to provide a knock-down flat configuration with the first panel forming a first exterior layer, the second panel forming a second exterior layer, and the third panel forming a center layer, wherein:the third panel is smaller than the second panel in a dimension generally perpendicular to the first and second fold lines such that a leading edge of the partition disposed at the second fold line is generally wedge-shaped with the first exterior layer disposed in face to face contact with the second exterior layer between a lower edge of the center layer and the second fold line;the first panel forms a first flap and a second flap;the second panel is adhered at least partially to the third panel so that the second panel forms a third flap and a fourth flap;a first portion of the third panel corresponds to a first center panel and a second portion of the third panel corresponds to a second center panel;the first flap and the first center panel define a first cell configured to receive a first item;the first flap and the second flap define a second cell configured to receive a second item;the second flap and the second center panel define a third cell configured to receive a third item;the second center panel and the fourth flap together form a fourth cell configured to receive a fourth item;the fourth flap and the third flap define a fifth cell configured to receive a fifth item; andthe third flap and the first center panel define a sixth cell configured to receive a sixth item. 2. The partition of claim 1, wherein the foldable material is comprised of a flexible material so that the first, second, third, and fourth flaps are configured to generally conform to product housed in any of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth cells. 3. The partition of claim 1, wherein the foldable material has a thickness of between approximately 15 thousandths of an inch and approximately 40 thousandths of an inch. 4. The partition of claim 1, wherein the first panel is adhered to the third panel. 5. The partition of claim 1, wherein the second panel is adhered to the third panel. 6. A single blank comprising: a first panel that is adjacent a second panel that is adjacent a third panel;a first score line that extends from an edge of the first panel to an edge of the second panel; anda second score line that extends from the edge of the first panel to the edge of the second panel, wherein the first and second score lines divide the first panel into a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion and divide the second panel into a fourth portion, a fifth portion, and a sixth portion, four of the portions defining flaps in an assembled partition, wherein:the third panel is folded onto the second panel about a first fold line at an interface between the second and third panels and the first panel is folded onto the third panel about a second fold line at an interface between the first and second panels to provide a knock-down flat configuration for the assembled partition with the first panel forming a first exterior layer, the second panel forming a second exterior layer, and the third panel forming a center layer; andthe third panel is smaller than the second panel in a dimension generally perpendicular to the first and second fold lines such that a leading edge of the partition disposed at the second fold line is generally wedge-shaped with the first exterior layer disposed in face to face contact with the second exterior layer between a lower edge of the center layer and the second fold line. 7. The blank of claim 6, wherein the first, second, and third panels each comprise top and bottom edges and wherein the top edge of the third panel extends beyond the top edges of the first and second panels and wherein the bottom edge of the third panel extends beyond the bottom edges of the first and second panels. 8. The blank of claim 6, wherein the blank has a thickness ranging from approximately 15 thousandths of an inch and approximately 40 thousandths of an inch. 9. The blank of claim 6, further comprising at least one glue area. 10. The blank of claim 6, wherein the fourth portion of the second panel is separated from an upper portion of the third panel by a first cut line. 11. The blank of claim 6, wherein the sixth portion of the second panel is separated from a lower portion of the third panel by a second cut line. 12. The blank of claim 6, wherein the first portion of the first panel is separated from the fourth portion of the second panel by a third cut line. 13. The blank of claim 6, wherein the second portion of the first panel is separated from the fifth portion of the second panel by a fold line. 14. The blank of claim 6, wherein the third portion of the first panel is separated from the sixth portion of the second panel by a fourth cut line. 15. The blank of claim 6, wherein the first and second score lines are perpendicular to the first and second fold lines.
