Description
BULK RECLOSABLE PACKAGE DISPLAY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to display packages including a multifunctional display package. More particularly, the invention relates to a bulk package display having a product closure for removably containing articles therein and a cover for retaining the articles within the closure with a hanging support tab formed thereon and a base support for maintaining the display package in an upright manner when disposed on a support surface.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
There are numerous packages for storing or displaying articles. The packaging can be a function of the effect to be presented to the consumer. Display and presentation of merchandise are important aspects of retail marketing.
Display packages must not only be suitable for the effective presentation and marketing of the merchandise, but the manufacture of the packages must be efficiently produced and be designed to be easily adaptable to standard fixtures as well as to minimize the labor required by the retailer or jobber to unpack and display the merchandise.
In the case of sandpaper, most current market packaging includes cardboard or paper packages which are configured to house a plurality of sheets of sandpaper. With respect to certain articles, such as abrasive discs, existing packages suffer from several problems. For example, the packages are not suitable for display or storage in various retailer space or user space and lack of desirability in the market place.
There are reclosable display packages currently used for packaging and displaying consumer articles. For example, a common plastic package is a "clam shell"
type package.
Clam shell type package include a front and a back cover which hingedly connect and mate to one another at flange portions extending about the periphery thereof. The flange portions can include interlocking male and female portions and a tab for hanging the package. Such display packages are typically formed in a blister pack material, wherein a label or the like can be placed on or in the package in a visible manner which is formed in a manner which typically snaps fits about the product. Although some are vertically self-supporting, blister pack display packages is not as user friendly for reuse as this type package tends to be brittle and crack or break and renders reuse impractical. The cost for producing suitable display packages of a two-part interconnecting clam shell type system had reached the point where the manufacture of these display packages is becoming prohibitive.
Abrasive or sandpaper sheets are packaged in a manner such that the packages are hung in a vertical manner from a peg board or like for viewing and identification, taking up large amount of showroom square footage within a store. Alternatively, some retailer's space configuration only provides for stacking packages on shelves which limits the displaying of the goods.
It is also not uncommon for multiple sheets of a particular grit size to be sold in a package. The consumer typically does not require multiple sheets of a particular grit size.
Rather, it is preferred to be able to select only the number and type of sandpaper sheets necessary to perform a particular job and from their standpoint it may be desirable to have a variety of grit size in one package.
The present inventor provided one attempt at solving the problem in commonly owned patent 6427832 which provided a reclosable display package of flexible thermoformed plastic material. While there has been some improvement, there continues to be a need for a more suitable package for abrasive discs for today's market.
The present invention solves the aforementioned and other problems of the prior art, and provides improved bulk display package of a relatively rigid material for displaying artides, particularly abrasive discs.
