Benefits of technology
[0008] The multi-relief clam shell package next includes a front shell member. The front shell member is preferably a translucent panel. The front shell member also has a frame member, with the frame member of the front shell member being configured to mate with the frame of the back shell member to form a clam shell package. The front shell member includes a first display surface. Additionally the translucent front shell member has one or more second display surfaces raised above the first display surface of the front shell member. Preferably, the first display surface resides closely adjacent the first display surface of the back shell member when the two shell members are mated together. In addition, the second display surface of the front shell member is configured to define one or more chambers with the second display surface of the back shell member. These chambers closely receive tools for secure display.
Problems solved by technology
Shifting within cartons may produce damage to the products and related product labels and display panels.
This method of shipping and display is both costly and time consuming.
The manufacturer must often pay relatively expensive initial packaging costs, particularly for items that are easily damaged by rough handling.
Furthermore, for small, expensive and easily stolen products, which are kept in secured display cases, the retailer must pay a sales person to attend to each customer wishing to inspect the products.
In addition, the clam shell packages deter product theft due to their size.

Embodiment Construction
[0016] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to an apparatus for displaying tools, such as pliers-type tools. Embodiments of the present invention further relate to a method of securing and packaging a tool.
[0017]FIG. 1 provides a frontal perspective view of a multi-relief clam shell package 100, in one embodiment. The clam shell package 100 has two mating components. Those are a front shell member 200 and a back shell member 300. The front 200 and back 300 shell members are configured to mate in order to form a single package for holding and displaying tools (not shown).
[0018] In FIG. 1, only the front shell member 200 is distinguished. It is understood that the back shell member 300 is disposed under the front shell member 300. However, features of the back shell member 300 are not identified in FIG. 1. Instead, FIG. 2 is provided, which shows the back shell member 300 separated from the front shell member 200.

Abstract
A multi-relief clam shell package is provided for displaying one or more tools. Generally, the package has front and back shell members. Each shell member is generally bounded by a frame, with the frames of the front and back shell members being configured to mate. The front and back shell members also each have a first display surface and a second display surface. Preferably, the respective second display surfaces are raised above the respective first display surfaces, and form chambers for supporting tools in relief fashion. The display surfaces of the first shell member are translucent.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to the packaging of products. More particularly, the present invention relates to the display of products in a translucent, clam-shell package. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Traditionally, products have been shipped by manufacturers or distributors to retail outlets by placing individual products in cartons. Protective packing material may be employed to prevent products from shifting during transit. Shifting within cartons may produce damage to the products and related product labels and display panels. Upon arrival at the retail outlet, the individual products are then removed from the cartons to be individually placed on a shelf or rack for display. In the case of tools, the products may be displayed within a secure display case or behind a lockable panel to minimize the risk of theft. [0005] This method of shipping and display is both costly...
