Package

Abstract

A package includes a front member having a first surface and an opposing second surface and a front sealing surface surrounding the second surface. A back member including a first surface and an opposing second surface, a back sealing surface surrounding the second surface and a back flange extending from the back sealing surface. The back flange has an inward facing surface and an outward facing surface. A joint secures the front sealing surface to the back sealing surface. A cavity is located between the second surface of the front member and the second surface of the back member. A ring member is positioned adjacent the outward facing surface of the back flange surrounding the back member.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A package comprising:
 a. a front member, the front member comprising a first surface and an opposing second surface, and a front sealing surface surrounding the second surface;   b. a back member, the back member comprising a first surface and an opposing second surface, a back sealing surface surrounding the second surface and a back flange extending from the back sealing surface, the back flange comprising an inward facing surface and an outward facing surface,   c. a joint securing the front sealing surface to the back sealing surface;   d. a cavity between the second surface of the front member and the second surface of the back member; and   e. a ring member positioned adjacent the outward facing surface of the back flange surrounding the back member.   
     
     
         2 . The package of  claim 1  wherein the ring member covers the joint. 
     
     
         3 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the ring member is a unitary one-piece member. 
     
     
         4 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the ring member is a one-piece member. 
     
     
         5 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the ring member is secured to the outward facing surface of the back flange. 
     
     
         6 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the front member is formed of transparent material. 
     
     
         7 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the back member is formed of transparent material. 
     
     
         8 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the ring member is formed of opaque material. 
     
     
         9 . The package of  claim 1 , further comprising a secondary back flange extending from the back flange, the secondary back flange comprising a forward facing surface and a rearward facing surface and a length dimension. 
     
     
         10 . The package of  claim 9 , wherein the ring member has a thickness dimension greater than the length dimension of the secondary back flange. 
     
     
         11 . The package of  claim 1 , further comprising a front flange extending from the front sealing surface, the front flange comprising an inward facing surface and an outward facing surface.
