Abstract: A paintbrush holder includes a central panel (12) which contains a first plurality of ventilation openings (14) and an inspection window (16). The central panel incorporates a strip-like raised portion (17). Score lines (18 and 20) separate the central panel and adjoining tapered first and second side panels (22 and 24). A score line (26) serves as a junction between a front panel (28) and the first side panel, while a score line (30) separates an intermediate panel (32) and the second side panel. A wedge-shaped cutout (33) is made in the first side panel and a square cutout (37) is formed in the intermediate panel. The intermediate panel contains a second plurality of ventilation openings (34) as well as a first snap fastener (36). The front panel has a square window (38) which in size and shape corresponds to the region outlined by the second plurality of ventilation openings.
