Packaging and Display Case For Dissimilar Objects

Abstract

Display packages for displaying two dissimilar articles in a side-by side configuration are disclosed. The display package comprises an outer box structure and an inner partition member. The inner partition member defines a first cell for holding the first product in the completed package. The outer box structure at least partially defines a second cell for holding the second article in the completed package. An adjustable article retaining member assists to hold the first article in its proper position. Both articles can be seen through a display window allowing for viewing of the front panel of each of the two articles. The inner components of the package are not visible through the display window allowing for a crisp presentation of both products within the package.

1 . A display package formed from a one piece blank of material for displaying a first and a second article of differing size in side by side relation, said display package comprising:
 a. an outer box structure comprising opposing front and back walls, opposing top and bottom walls, and opposing first and second side walls, said opposing walls being connected to form said outer box structure and wherein said front wall contains a product viewing window formed therein, said product viewing window allowing for viewing of the front panel of each of said first and second articles packaged within said display package;   b. an inner partition member foldably connected to said outer box structure, said inner partition member defining a first cell for retaining said first article upon placement of said first article within said cell, said inner partition member comprising an adjustable article retaining member to retain said first article in position within said package; and   c. a second cell for containing and retaining said second article, said second cell being adjacent said first cell and defined at least in part by said outer box structure, wherein   d. when said first and second articles are placed and secured in said package, they are retained in a side by side relationship and the front panel of each of said first and said second articles may be viewed through said product viewing window, and wherein said inner partition member is not visible through said product viewing window when viewing said first and second articles through said product viewing window   
       wherein the first article is shorter than the second article, and the adjustable article retaining member acts as a top holding portion of the first article. 
     
     
         2 . The package of  claim 1  wherein substantially all of said front panel of each of said first and said second articles may be viewed through said product window. 
     
     
         3 . The package of  claim 1  wherein at least 60% of said front panel of each of said first and second articles may be viewed through said product window. 
     
     
         4 . A package according to any of the preceding claims wherein said inner partition member defines a cell at least partially separating said first article from all walls of said outer box structure. 
     
     
         5 . A package according to any of the preceding claims wherein said first and second articles are personal care products. 
     
     
         6 . A package according to any of the preceding claims wherein the dimensions of the inner partition member and first cell defined thereby may be adjusted in thickness and height to accommodate first products of differing size without changing the dimensions of the outer box structure.
