         2 . The divider ( 6 ) of  claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second central panels ( 16 ,  12 ) are equal in length and width. 
     
     
         3 . The divider ( 6 ) of  claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second lateral panels ( 20 ,  8 ) are equal in length and width. 
     
     
         4 . The divider ( 6 ) of  claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second lateral panels ( 20 ,  8 ) are equal in length relative to the length of the first and the second central panels ( 16 , 12 ), respectively. 
     
     
         5 . The divider ( 6 ) of  claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second lateral panels ( 20 ,  8 ) are shorter in length relative to the length of the first and the second central panels ( 16 , 12 ), respectively. 
     
     
         6 . The divider ( 6 ) of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second adhesive layers ( 21 ) comprises of differential adhesives. 
     
     
         7 . The divider ( 6 ) of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second adhesive layers ( 21 ) comprises of a double sided tape. 
     
     
         8 . The divider ( 6 ) of  claim 1  further comprising a first pair of ridges ( 22 ) configured adjacent to the first lateral hinge ( 18 ), and a second pair of ridges ( 22 ) configured adjacent to the second lateral hinge ( 10 ) to restrict rotation of the first and second lateral panels ( 20 , 8 ) to 90 degrees. 
     
     
         9 . The divider ( 6 ) of  claim 1 , wherein the divider ( 6 ) is made of a solid plastic sheet substantially rectangular in shape. 
     
     
         10 . The divider ( 6 ) of  claim 1 , wherein the central hinge ( 14 ), and the first and second lateral hinges ( 18 ,  10 ) are living hinges made of same material as the divider ( 6 ). 
     
     
         11 . The divider ( 6 ) of  claim 1 , wherein the central hinge ( 14 ), and the first and second lateral hinges ( 18 , 10 ) are made of a material selected from a group of material consisting of plastic, rubber, or other flexible material that can bend and replicate a hinge movement. 
     
     
         12 . The divider ( 6 ) of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second lateral panels ( 20 , 8 ) forming the divider base ( 34 ), and the first and second central panels ( 16 , 12 ) forming the divider wall ( 32 ) are substantially rectangular in shape. 
     
     
         13 . The divider ( 6 ) of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second lateral panels ( 20 , 8 ) forming the divider base are further made in the form of triangular cutouts, rectangular cutouts, square cutouts with a matching angled ends. 
     
     
         14 . A solid plastic sheet ( 2 ) configurable in the form of a divider ( 6 ) for partitioning an interior space of a drawer, or building a custom box, comprising:
