Abstract (en)

A foldable carton for packaging a bottle or other fragile article, including a cradling device (120) for supporting and holding the article within the carton. The cradling device is defined by two, spaced, parallel walls (118,119) or partitions which are foldable or erectable from flaps integral with the side walls of the carton, the carton being constructed from a single paperboard blank. Parallel walls each include opposing D-shaped apertures (115) for retaining a cylindrical shoulder and cap of the bottle therebetween. A portion of the cradling walls disposed above the apertures are provided with fold lines to allow the bottle to be installed or removed without damaging the packaging.
