Abstract: A container is formed in a blank having two body halves interconnected by a hinge. The container body is at least partially clear to allow inspection of an article held in the interior. The container optionally includes an integrally formed carrying handle. Empty containers are nested to minimize shipping space. Each container optionally includes stack-stabilizing structure so that plural containers may be stacked into stable stacks, and any selected container may be easily removed from the stack. The inventive container protects articles held therein during shipping and storage, and displays the articles both before and after sale.

Abstract: A container for holding a pair of shoes is formed in a blank having two body halves interconnected by a living hinge. The container body is at least partially clear to reveal a pair of shoes held in the interior. The interior of the container defines a space having non-uniform dimensions in which a pair of shoes is securely held. The container optionally includes an integrally formed carrying handle. Empty containers are nested to minimize shipping space. Each container includes stack stabilizing structure so that plural containers containing shoes may be stacked into stable stacks, and any selected container may be easily removed from the stack. The inventive container protects the shoes during shipping and storage, and displays the shoes both before and after sale.
