a center fold line parallel to the first and second side edges,
a first upper fold line between the center fold line and the first side edge, the main body having a first outer panel and a first inner panel between the first upper fold line and the center fold line,
a second upper fold line between the center fold line and the second side edge, the main body having a second outer panel and a second inner panel between the second upper fold line and the center fold line, the first and second upper fold lines being parallel to the center fold line,
a plurality of first slots formed in the sheet and extending parallel to the first and second end edges, the plurality of first slots being formed in the first inner and outer panels between the center fold line and the first upper fold line,
a plurality of second slots formed in the sheet and extending parallel to the first and second end edges, the plurality of second slots being formed in the second inner and outer panels between the center fold line and the second upper fold line,
a plurality of first openings formed in the first outer panel and located between a corresponding one of the plurality of first slots and the first upper fold line, a first portion of the first outer panel extending between an outermost end of each of the plurality of first slots and an innermost end of the corresponding one of the plurality of first openings, and
a plurality of second openings formed in the second outer panel and located between a corresponding one of the plurality of second slots and the second upper fold line, a second portion of the second outer panel extending between an outermost end of each of the plurality of second slots and an innermost end of the corresponding one of the plurality of second openings, and

a plurality of partition walls each formed from a sheet of material and having a bottom, first and second sides, and a top, the first and second sides each having a respective first and second hook, each of the plurality of partition walls received in a corresponding pair of first and second slots, the first and second hooks of each partition wall receiving a corresponding one of the first and second portions of the main body, respectively, in a gap between the first and second hooks and a body of the partition wall and having a distal end that extends laterally inwardly into a corresponding first or second opening,
wherein the plurality of partition walls are secured against downward vertical movement relative to the main body by only engagement of the first and second hooks with the corresponding first or second opening.
