Abstract A tray and blank therefor constituting a shipping container with two or more open top compartments separated by a divider especially constructed to act as a strut to rigidify the tray and to support the central region of the bottom wall of the tray against bulging or sagging. The divider includes a horizontal top panel and a pair of integral vertical flaps all extending from side to side of the tray and the pair of vertical flaps also extending from fold lines along the edges of the top panel downwardly to the bottom panel thus forming a rigid hollow strut of rec- tangular cross section. Glue flaps integrally formed in the bottom panel are bent upwardly along spaced parallel lines into vertical planes and are adhesively secured to the inner surfaces of the vertical divider flaps inside the divider or strut. The adhesive joints by which the bottom panel is secured to the strut thus lie in vertical planes whereby the forces which would tend to make the bottom panel bulge or sag away from the strut are trans- ferred to the strut in the shear direction of the adhesive joints, the direction in which such joints are strongest.
