Abstract: A bag stuffer for an expandable bag includes an insert defining a pair of substantially planar elements movable from a collapsed orientation enabling compact storage of the expandable bag to an expanded orientation providing a commercial display thereof. The insert is biased to the expanded orientation but a releasable restraint, disposed about the insert and at least partially within the expandable bag, restrains movement of the insert from the collapsed orientation to the expanded orientation. The restraint is preferably a loop of a flexible strip formed by heat sealing one end of the strip to a strip portion adjacent the other end of the strip at at least one point to define a rupturable heat-seal bond.

Abstract: An oval-shaped box construction including a foam enclosure for housing the product and a viewing window to observe the product in the box.

Abstract: An expander, suitable for use in an expandable bag having a closure, includes a stuffer movable from a collapsed orientation wherein the stuffer is substantially flat to an expanded orientation wherein said stuffer is not substantially flat. The stuffer is biased for movement from the collapsed orientation to the expanded orientation. A tearable band disposed about the stuffer releasably maintains the stuffer in the collapsed orientation, and a tearing mechanism is provided for tearing the tearable band to enable the stuffer to move from the collapsed orientation to the expanded orientation, the tearing means being operable from outside the bag.The stuffer is disposed in the bag in the collapsed orientation with the closure closed, the tearable band being disposed in the bag and the tearing mechanism being disposed partially within the bag and partially without the bag.
