Benefits of technology

This patent is about a blank that can be used to make a holder for products with a body and a rim that sticks out. The blank has two panels that can be placed face-to-face. The front panel has holes where the products can be placed, and the back panel has holes where the product's rim can be sandwiched to hold it securely. The technical effect is to provide a simple yet effective way to hold multiple products in a single holder.

Problems solved by technology

However, from a user's perspective, many of these types of packages are not user friendly.
For a user to access or retrieve only one of the products from the package, the entire package must be compromised.
Consumer product packaging which does not suffer from these above described and other problems is often expensive to produce, difficult to economically pack, ship and / or store multiple such packages and / or minimizes the display and commercial appeal of the product at the point of sale.

Embodiment Construction

[0027]Referring to FIG. 1, a package 10 according to one embodiment of this invention is shown suspended on a display hook 12 for display at a retail establishment or other environment. The package 10 is suspended on the display hook 12 with the display hook 12 inserted through a display hook receiving hole 14 in the package 10. Although FIG. 1 depicts the hole 14 as a cutout, a slot or slit may also be used. As demonstrated in FIG. 1, multiple packages may be suspended in a similar orientation from the display hook 12. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the receiving hole 14 is located proximate to a longitudinal end of the package 10 to provide for a generally vertical orientation of the suspended package 10. The receiving hole 14 may be provided at other locations on the package 10, including proximate a side of the package 10 for suspension in a generally horizontal orientation on the hook. Moreover, in other embodiments of this invention, a plastic or other material hanger may ...

Abstract

A package is formed from a paperboard blank having two panels foldably connected together. One panel has formed therein openings which are configured to the shape of a product which is inserted into the opening so as to be held, yet displayed, thereby. When the blank is folded, a rim portion of the product is sandwiched between the panels and a body portion of the product extends through one of the openings. The rim of each product is sandwiched between panels to thereby retain the product in the associated product receiving hole. A number of flaps in the second panel are each aligned with one of the product receiving holes and superimposed over the upper face of the product. Each flap is at least partially removable from the carrier so as to allow for removal of the product from the package. Another aspect of this invention is a blank for forming such a carrier and package.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates generally to a multiple-product carrier package and more particularly to a multiple-product carrier package for display at a point of sale.[0002]A wide variety of specialized packages for containing products or articles for display at the point of purchase are known. Products for which such packaging is often used include individual servings of applesauce, yogurt, pudding and other such products. These packages may include cards or packages formed from paperboard which display the products while retaining them. These types of packages may provide a simple, efficient and economical solution to consumer and retail packaging and merchandising needs.[0003]However, from a user's perspective, many of these types of packages are not user friendly. For a user to access or retrieve only one of the products from the package, the entire package must be compromised. This typically requires the user to remove all of the products from the pa...
