Self-contained squeeze card hanging package

Abstract

A tamper-resistant hanging package particularly attractive in the squeezing of a confectionery, cosmetic or other flowable product content out through a nozzle includes a tear-off corner which, upon twisting, removes a connected cap from the nozzle of a bladder in which the product content is stored in allowing the product content to be sucked or spread through the nozzle; but with the tear-off corner being thereafter separable from the cap to allow the cap to be placed back onto the nozzle to close off and retain any remaining product content in the bladder for future use.

1 . A package display unit comprising:
 a support card having an inner heat-sealable plastic layer and an outer cardboard layer;   a squeezable bladder of product content to be dispensed through a nozzle thereof;   a heat-sealable plastic edge framing said bladder;   die cut areas through said inner and outer layers to receive said bladder and said nozzle;   a cap for said nozzle having opposing side extensions sandwiched between said inner and outer layers of said card at a corner thereof;   a tear line between said corner and the remainder of said card; and   a fold line across said support card for folding a bottom portion of said inner layer of said support card over a top portion of said inner layer of said support card in bringing said heat-sealable plastic edge framing said bladder in abutting relationship with said inner heat-sealable plastic layer.   
     
     
         2 . The package display unit of  claim 1  wherein said fold line divides said support card in half, 
     
     
         3 . The package display unit of  claim 1  wherein said inner heat-sealable plastic layer and said heat-sealable plastic edge framing said bladder are fabricated of polyethylene. 
     
     
         4 . The package display unit of  claim 1  wherein said squeezable bladder is fabricated of low density polyethylene. 
     
     
         5 . The package display unit of  claim 1  wherein said cap is fabricated of polypropylene. 
     
     
         6 . The package display unit of  claim 1  wherein said fold line divides said support card in half, wherein said inner heat-sealable plastic layer and said heat-sealable plastic edge are fabricated of polyethylene, wherein said squeezable bladder is fabricated of low density polyethylene, and wherein said cap is fabricated of polypropylene. 
     
     
         7 . The package display unit of  claim 1 , also including tearable perforations between said opposing side extensions of said cap and said inner and outer layers of said support card. 
     
     
         8 . The package display unit of  claim 1  wherein said bladder includes a domed top and a flat base. 
     
     
         9 . The package display unit of  claim 1 , including die cut areas through said inner and outer layers of said support card to receive a peg for hanging said display unit. 
     
     
         10 . The package display unit of  claim 1 , including areas on said cardboard layer to receive print information of the product content within said bladder. 
     
     
         11 . The package display unit of  claim 6 , also including tearable perforations between said opposing side extensions of said cap and said inner and outer layers of said support card, wherein said bladder includes a domed top and a flat base, die cut areas through said inner and outer layers of said support card to receive a peg for hanging said display unit, and areas on said cardboard layer to receive print information of the product content within said bladder. 
     
     
         12 . The package display unit of  claim 2  wherein a top half of said support card includes a die cut area for receiving the bladder and nozzle and wherein a bottom half of said support card includes a die cut area to overlie said nozzle when folded upwardly across said support card. 
     
     
         13 . The package display unit of  claim 1  wherein said squeezable bladder is fabricated of a transparent plastic. 
     
     
         14 . The package display unit of  claim 1  wherein said squeezable bladder encloses a confectionery and wet or dry form cosmetic. 
     
     
         15 . The package display unit of  claim 1  wherein said squeezable bladder contains a flowable product content. 
     
     
         16 . A package display unit comprising:
 a squeezable bladder of product content to be dispensed through a nozzle thereof;   a heat-sealable plastic edge framing said bladder;   a support card having an inner heat-sealable plastic layer and an outer cardboard layer between which said heat-sealable plastic edge is sandwiched;   a cap for said nozzle having opposing side extensions sandwiched between said inner and outer layers of said support card at a corner thereof;   a tear line between said corner and the remainder of said support card; and   a Euro hanging hole through said support card.   
     
     
         17 . The package display unit of  claim 16 , including tearable perforations between said opposing side extensions and said support card corner.
