1. A partitioned container, comprising: an outer case member erectable from a substantially flat condition to an expanded condition; and a partition structure including at least one partition formed from a unitary blank, the unitary blank being separate from the outer case member and configured to couple to at least one interior surface of the outer case member in the substantially flat condition, the unitary blank including a first divider panel having a plurality of cross members rotatably connected thereto and a second divider panel having a plurality of cross members rotatably connected thereto that are configured to automatically divide an interior of the outer case member into a plurality of cells when the outer case member is erected to the expanded condition, and the partition being configured such that an entirety of the first divider panel is an unfolded portion of the unitary blank and is unbonded to any other portion of the partition structure and such that an entirety of the second divider panel is an unfolded portion of the unitary blank and is unbonded to any other portion of the partition structure, wherein at least some of the plurality of cross members rotatably connected to the first divider panel extend from one side of the first divider panel, across the first divider panel and terminate between the first divider panel and the second divider panel when the outer case member is in the expanded condition, and wherein at least some of the plurality of cross members rotatably connected to the second divider panel extend from one side of the second divider panel, across the second divider panel and terminate between the first divider panel and the second divider panel when the outer case member is in the expanded condition.
