Abstract: Packaging for an article having an insert (11) has a central projecting portion to accommodate an article. A catch (14) projects from a rim of the insert (11) and is wedge shaped to guide the insert (11) into a box (3) designed to contain the insert. During the insertion process, the catch (14) slides against an inner surface of the box (3) until it reaches an aperture (8) in the box wall. The catch (14) then engages the aperture (8) to resist removal of the insert (11), until the catch (14) is pressed and released by a user.

Abstract: Packaging for an article or set of articles is provided by a back cardboard sheet (1b) and a front cardboard sheet (1a) sandwiched together. The front cardboard sheet (1a) has a central opening (4) provided therein and is attached to the back sheet (1b) about peripheral regions of the front sheet (1a). The front sheet (1a) remains unattached to the back sheet (1b) in the region surrounding the opening (4). A moulded plastics member (7) has a peripheral edge region (8) held between the unattached regions of the front and back sheets (1a,1b) and has a central portion (10) which projects through the opening (4) in the front sheet (1a) and which provides a housing for the article(s) to be packaged. A pair of perforated seams (5a,5b) extend from opposed edge regions of the front sheet (1a) to the central opening (4).
