A corner reinforcement (40) for distributing a load placed on top of a packaging unit (10) is provided. The corner reinforcement (40) comprises a top panel (42) and two downwardly extending side panels (42) and fits over the top end of a corner post (18) to better distribute the load across the entire top end of the corner post (18) and to reinforce the corner of the package (10) to prevent the post (18) and package (10) from buckling, crushing or otherwise failing.
