Abstract

A package including a front panel and a rear panel, preferably connected by a hinge, for example by a living hinge, whereby the front and rear panels include substantially A-frame elements adapted to be separated to expose an interior volume defined by such panels. The interior volume may be sized and shaped to receive any of a number of products, such as a pet door. The package includes peripheral flanges that extend about the peripheral edge of each of the front panel and the rear panel such that when in the closed configuration, the package remains in a stable upright position when placed on a substantially horizontal surface. The size of the peripheral flanges may be altered, such as shortened, such that a bottom portion of the package rests substantially on (or substantially close to) a horizontal surface to provide further support when the contents of the package are heavy.
