Packaging

Abstract

A packaging comprises a body forming a chamber, a cover panel joined to the body over the chamber, and a door extending over the chamber. In one example, the door has a first portion joined to a remainder of the packaging by a first living hinge and a second portion frangibly connected to the remainder of the packaging. In another example, a post within the chamber has a top with a first portion of the pushpin, wherein the door includes a second portion of the pushpin.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A packaging comprising:
 a single continuous formed polymeric sheet forming:   a body forming a chamber;   a cover panel extending from the body and joined to the body by a first living hinge; and   a door extending over the chamber, the door having a first portion joined to a remainder of the packaging by a second living hinge and a second portion frangibly connected to the remainder of the packaging.   
     
     
         2 . The packaging of  claim 1 , wherein the door is formed in the body opposite the cover panel. 
     
     
         3 . The packaging of  claim 1 , wherein the door is formed in the cover panel and wherein the second living hinge is carried by the cover panel. 
     
     
         4 . The packaging of  claim 1 , wherein the body includes a first portion of a pushpin and wherein the door includes a second portion of the pushpin. 
     
     
         5 . The packaging of  claim 1  further comprising means for releasably retaining the door in a chamber closing state after a frangible connection between the door and a remainder of the packaging has been broken. 
     
     
         6 . The packaging of  claim 3 , wherein the body comprises a channel in alignment with the first portion of the pushpin. 
     
     
         7 . The packaging of  claim 1 , wherein the body and the cover frictionally nest together. 
     
     
         8 . The packaging of  claim 1  further comprising an insert within the chamber extending along an inside surface of the cover panel adjacent the door, the insert presenting graphics viewable through the cover panel. 
     
     
         9 . The packaging of  claim 8  further comprising a pair of opposite shoulder surfaces on opposite sides of the body recessed from and proximate to a mouth of the chamber, the pair of opposite shoulder surfaces supporting the insert within the chamber adjacent to and below the cover panel. 
     
     
         10 . The packaging of  claim 8  comprising a continuous shelf about a perimeter of the chamber proximate to a mouth of the chamber, the continuous shelf supporting the insert within the chamber adjacent to and below the cover panel. 
     
     
         11 . The packaging of  claim 8 , wherein the insert has an opening in alignment with the door. 
     
     
         12 . The packaging of  claim 8 , wherein the insert extends on opposite sides of the door such that the door is sandwiched between portions of the insert. 
     
     
         13 . The packaging of  claim 1 , wherein the cover panel has an elevated platform and wherein the door is formed in the elevated platform. 
     
     
         14 . The packaging of  claim 1 , wherein the cover panel has a top surface including one of a depression and a projection and wherein the body includes a bottom surface below the chamber including the other of a depression and a projection, wherein the projection is receivable within the depression to facilitate interlocked stacking with another one of the packaging. 
     
     
         15 . The packaging of  claim 1 , wherein the single continuous sheet of formed polymeric material forms a post within the chamber, wherein the door has a first portion of a pushpin and wherein a top of the post has a second portion of the pushpin. 
     
     
         16 . The packaging of  claim 1 , wherein the single continuous formed polymeric sheet is transparent. 
     
     
         17 . The packaging of  claim 1  further comprising a tearable film between the cover panel and the body sealing an interior of the chamber. 
     
     
         18 . A packaging comprising:
 a body forming a chamber;   a cover panel extending from the body across the chamber;   a door extending over the chamber and joined to a remainder of the cover panel by a second living hinge, the door being frangibly connected to the cover panel; and   a post within the chamber, wherein a top of the post has a first portion of the pushpin and wherein the door includes a second portion of the pushpin.   
     
     
         19 . A packaging comprising:
 a body forming a chamber;   a transparent cover panel joined to the body over the chamber; and   a door extending over the chamber, the door having a first portion joined to a remainder of the packaging by a first living hinge and a second portion frangibly connected to the remainder of the packaging; and   an insert within the chamber extending along and adjacent to an inside surface of the cover panel, the insert presenting graphics viewable through the cover panel.   
     
     
         20 . The packaging of  claim 19  further comprising a post within the chamber, wherein a top of the post has a first portion of the pushpin and wherein a remainder of the packaging includes a second portion of the pushpin. 
     
     
         21 . The packaging of  claim 20 , wherein the post is formed as part of a single continuous polymeric sheet with one of the body and the cover panel.
