Title: Cushioning pads for cartons

Abstract: An improved cushion pad is disclosed for use in packaging glassware or other fragile articles in a compartmented carton. Such cartons, including the well known corrugated fiberboard cartons, are used with vertical dividers for packaging articles having extending extremities such as glass stemware, whose projecting feet and flaring tops may project into adjacent compartments and engage and chip or crack one another. The cushions of this invention have preformed grooves to receive the tops and bottoms of the dividers causing the extremities of the articles to be positioned away from the spaces between dividers thereby preventing them from striking one another during carton handling.
