1. A partitioned container comprising:
one or more exterior panels defining an interior compartment;
a first number of interior partitions, each comprising:
a top edge and a bottom edge;
a pair of side edges;
a partitioning section comprising a top edge and a bottom edge, and a pair of side edges, and comprising a number of slots extending from both of said top and bottom edges to an intermediate height thereof;
wherein each of said partitioning sections extend alongside one another and substantially cross said interior compartment in a first direction;
a second number of interior partitions, each comprising:
a top edge and a bottom edge;
a pair of side edges;
a partitioning section, comprising a top edge and a bottom edge, and a pair of side edges, and comprising a number of slots extending from both of said top and bottom edges to an intermediate height thereof;
a pair of folding tab sections including a first folding tab section extending from a right-side edge of said partitioning section in a first direction, and configured for folding about a vertically extending fold line located at said right side edge, and a second folding tab section extending from a left-side edge of said partitioning section in a second direction opposing said first direction, and configured for folding about a vertically extending fold line located at said left-side edge;
wherein each of said partitioning sections extend alongside one another and substantially cross said interior compartment in a second direction intersecting said first direction;
wherein each of said folding tab sections are attached to one of said one or more exterior panels;
wherein each of said partitioning sections of each of said first number of interior partitions are mated with each of said partitioning sections of each of said second number of interior partitions by way of said slots in said partitioning sections of said first and second number of interior partitions to define a series of individual compartments within the interior compartment;
wherein vertical and horizontal movement with respect to said one or more exterior panels of each of said first number of interior partitions is restricted by said partitioning sections of said second number of interior partitions mated thereto;
wherein vertical and horizontal movement with respect to said one or more exterior panels of each of said second number of interior partitions is restricted by said partitioning sections of said first number of interior partitions mated thereto; and
wherein said fold line of said first folding tab section extends a fraction of a height of said right side-edge, and a remainder of said right-side edge is an open edge, and said fold line of said second folding tab section extends a fraction of a height of said left-side edge, and a remainder of said left-side edge is an open edge.
