Abstract: A package for a product sample or the like that is suitable for insertion into newspaper publications with standard automatic insertion machinery. The package has a substantially smooth flat outer wrapper without unsecured edges that can tear during handling and/or jam the automatic insertion machinery. The package avoids the need to size and align the product sample for coincidence with an aperture in the outer wrapper. Finally, the package provides the maximum uninterrupted surface area for graphic and print advertising.
