Abstract: A display container for holding, displaying, and dispensing articles such as literature and samples. The container is formed from several paperboard components and has a tubular body with upper and lower insert pieces positioned within the body to divide the interior of the body into separate compartments, one of which is adapted to hold a drawer that can be pulled out from the body.

Abstract: A two-part container for shipping miscellaneous parts and articles or items as from a catalog outlet or central warehouse has its own lower, shallow tray in which the items are collected. The tray and items therein then pass to a plastic film overlay machine which stretches plastic film under air pressure and heat over the items and adheres it to a bonding coating on inner surfaces of the tray. A top cover is fitted to the tray with lower edges of two side walls thereof abutting the bottom panel of the tray inwardly of the walls thereof. Two end walls of the top cover remain outside the tray and are fastened to the end walls of the tray as by staples or to the bottom of the tray as by tape segments.
