Abstract: A display carton for an electric lamp or similar fragile article which is formed of a single sheet of paperboard material and designed for securedly retaining the lamp therein through use of a compressive force on the lamp. This force is applied by a depressible, resilient platform formed by the carton's two inwardly bent and cnnected panel members against two opposingly located, rigid tab members which engage an upper, outer surface of the lamp's bulbous, glass envelope.

Abstract: A display package for elongated products is prepared from a single rectangular blank of paperboard or the like that is folded about a centrally located score line and suspended on a display panel from a rod-like member which extends through an opening provided at the top of the package. The blank from which the display package is formed has a longitudinal dimension greater than its width dimension and includes, in addition to its centrally located score line, a plurality of cuts and secondary scores which together form a product enclosing and retaining intermediate panel and a pair of spaced apart upper and lower apertures of which one or both may be covered with a transparent film to provide a window or windows in the package.

Abstract: The compartmented display carton of the present invention is prepared from a one piece blank of paperboard or the like having a printability coating only on one surface. The blank is scored and cut to provide hollow end and side walls, an integral top and an interior divided into a plurality of compartments having different widths between the hollow side walls and different lengths between the hollow end walls, all interior and exterior panels having a printability surface.
