Abstract

Display packaging comprising a support or backing member (5) upon which at least one item can be located; at least one compression member (6, 8) movably connected or attached to the support member, said compression member being moveable to a position to compress the item located on the support member, and a cover member (30) such as a sleeve, bag, envelope or shrink wrap film is capable of being located around the compression member and item when located on the support member. The package is a blank made from cardboard and has holdings tabs (7, 11) that engage with slots (20, 22). Compressing the item inside the package removes trapped air thereby reducing the size of the item and/or package. The package can be used for gloves (50) or socks in which the items are compressed to occupy a smaller space or volume as compared to a rest or unrestrained size of the items.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates generally to packaging of products, particularly a package for products allowing display of the products. More particularly, the present invention relates to packaging for displaying individual items, or pairs or groups of items or the like, such as pairs of identical or substantially identical items in which the items are compressed to occupy a smaller volume by the packaging. [0002] The present invention finds particular application for the packaging of gloves, such as rubber or latex gloves or similar products for display in a retail environment, such as for example, for sale in a department store, a supermarket or other retail establishment in which it is desirable to have packaging of a reduced volume. Therefore, while the present invention will hereinafter be described with particular reference to one form of packaging for one form of gloves, it is to be understood that the scope of the present invention is not restri...
