Preferably the sheet has a small opening to receive the clip and in the preferred embodiment it has two openings spaced lengthwise of the box, one for insertion of a clip from the bottom and the other to receive the ball of the clip, thereby to hold the article in alignment with the box.
In another aspect the invention involves a package comprising a box, a sheet of resilient transparent material which is shorter but wider than the box and which is fitted into the box in arched condition with its lateral edges seating against the bottom of the box at the sides, together with the article to be displayed and means to hold the article against the underside of the sheet.
For the purpose of illustration a typical embodiment is shown in the accompanying drawings in which Fig. l is a plan view;
Fig. 2 is a section on line 2-2 of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 3 is a section on line 33 of Fig. l.

Extending through the sheet 2 near one end of the box are two openings 3 and 4, the opening 3 for insertion of the clip 5 from the bottom and the opening 4 to receive the ball of the clip, thereby to hold the article in alignment with the box.- Preferably the sheet 2 is not attached to the box so that it, together with the article, may be lifted from the box for closer inspection of the article or for removal of the article from the box. To return the article to the box the sheet 2 is flexed and placed in the box in the position shown in the drawings.
