A container for transporting an item is provided having an outer case member and a pair of partition members. The container is erectable from a collapsed configuration, in which the container is substantially flat, to an erected configuration in which the partition members form a support structure within an interior cavity of the outer case member to support a portion of the item to be transported. Methods of packaging and transporting an item in a container are also provided.

1. A container for transporting an item, the container comprising: an outer case member having a plurality of sidewall panels and a plurality of base panels, the outer case member erectable from a collapsed configuration, in which the container is substantially flat, to an erected configuration, in which the plurality of sidewall panels and the plurality of base panels collectively define an interior cavity to receive the item to be transported; anda pair of partition members, each partition member being separate and distinct from the other and having a foot panel, a side panel and a support panel, the foot panel of each partition member fixedly coupled to a respective one of the plurality of base panels of the outer case member, the side panel of each partition member fixedly coupled to a respective one of the plurality of sidewall panels of the outer case member, and the support panel of each partition member provided between the foot panel and the side panel of each respective partition member to collectively partition the interior cavity of the outer case member into opposing regions and to support a portion of the item to be transported when the outer case member is erected. 2. The container of claim 1 wherein each partition member further includes a supplemental support panel foldably coupled to the support panel, the supplemental support panels of the partition members collectively defining a V-shaped trough on which to support the portion of the item to be transported when the outer case member is in the erected configuration. 3. The container of claim 2 wherein each of the supplemental support panels includes a lock device to secure the partition members in a support configuration when the outer case member is in the erected configuration. 4. The container of claim 1 wherein, the support panel of each partition member is normal to the side panel when the outer case member is in the erected configuration. 5. The container of claim 1 wherein, the support panel of each partition member is parallel to the side panel when the outer case member is in the collapsed configuration. 6. The container of claim 1 wherein, the support panel of each partition member is connected to the foot panel by a respective intermediary web panel such that, when the outer case member moves from the collapsed configuration to the erected configuration, the foot panel rotates the support panel relative to the side panel via the intermediary web panel. 7. The container of claim 6 wherein, when the outer case member is in the erected configuration, each intermediary web panel is inclined relative to the base panels of the outer case member toward a central region of the interior cavity. 8. The container of claim 1 wherein one of the partition members includes a wedge device that cooperates with the support panels of the partition members to define a window when the outer case member is in the erected configuration. 9. The container of claim 8 wherein the wedge device is selectively adjustable to change a size of the window. 10. The container of claim 8 wherein the wedge device is coupled to the side panel of the partition member by an upper panel. 11. An erectable container to transport flowers, the erectable container comprising: an outer case member including a plurality of sidewall panels and a plurality of base panels; anda pair of partition members, each partition member being separate and distinct from the other and from the outer case member, and each being adhered to a respective one of the plurality of sidewall panels and a respective one of the plurality of base panels of the outer case member, and wherein each partition member is configured to at least partially erect into a stem support structure as the outer case member is erected from a collapsed configuration to an erected configuration, the stem support structure providing a support trough offset from a floor of the outer case member when the stem support structure is completely erected and locked in a support configuration. 12. The erectable container of claim 11 wherein the stem support structure partitions an interior cavity of the outer case member into opposing regions when the outer case member is in the erected configuration and the stem support structure is locked in the support configuration. 13. The erectable container of claim 11 wherein each partition member includes a foot panel, a side panel and a support panel, the foot panel of each partition member fixedly coupled to a respective one of the plurality of base panels of the outer case member, the side panel of each partition member fixedly coupled to a respective one of the plurality of sidewall panels of the outer case member, and the support panel of each partition member provided between the foot panel and the side panel of each respective partition member. 14. The erectable container of claim 13 wherein each partition member further includes a supplemental support panel foldably coupled to the support panel, the supplemental support panels of the partition members collectively defining the support trough on which to support stems of the flowers to be transported when the outer case member is in the erected configuration and the stem support structure is locked in the support configuration. 15. The erectable container of claim 14 wherein each of the supplemental support panels includes a lock device to secure the stem support structure in the support configuration with the outer case member in the erected configuration. 16. The erectable container of claim 13 wherein, the support panel of each partition member is normal to the side panel when the outer case member is in the erected configuration. 17. The erectable container of claim 13 wherein, the support panel of each partition member is parallel to the side panel when the outer case member is in the collapsed configuration. 18. The erectable container of claim 13 wherein, the support panel of each partition member is connected to the foot panel by a respective intermediary web panel such that, when the outer case member moves from the collapsed configuration to the erected configuration, the foot panel rotates the support panel relative to the side panel via the intermediary web panel. 19. An erectable container to transport flowers, the erectable container comprising: an outer case member; anda pair of partition members, each partition member being separate and distinct from the other and from the outer case member, and wherein each partition member is configured to at least partially erect into a stem support structure as the outer case member is erected from a collapsed configuration to an erected configuration, the stem support structure providing a support trough offset from a floor of the outer case member when the stem support structure is completely erected and locked in a support configuration, andwherein one of the partition members includes a wedge device that cooperates with the stem support structure when the outer case member is in the erected configuration to define a window.
