Abstract: The disclosed carton has opposite front and back walls, a top or end panel hinged to the front wall, and a flap extending downward from the top panel inside the back wall. A tongue in the back wall is defined by side cuts and an end cut. A hang-up tab extends from the top-panel flap at a reverse bend, extending through said end cut and upward. A locking portion of the hang-up tab is wider than the tongue, thus having locking extremities. When the tab is initially shifted from inside the back wall downward through the end cut, its locking portion is disposed partly outside the tongue but the locking extremities are inside the carton. When the hang-up tab is thereafter forcibly swung outward, the locking portion flexes and its extremities emerge and lock the top panel closed. The top panel additionally has detents at the ends of its closing flap.

Abstract: The disclosed packages include a merchandise unit needing protection against impact during shipment, especially a stack of articles such as mirrors, firmly contained in a liner that surrounds the merchandise unit. Inward off-sets of the liner block up-and-down sliding and, in the case of plural articles such as mirrors, the off-sets hold the articles together. The edges of the liner and especially the edges of the off-sets support the contents between the walls of a carton.

Abstract: Merchandise display apparatus here includes an upright support and a cantilever arm extending from the support. The arm bears demarcations distributed along its length to provide a measure of the amount of merchandise on the rod and a label at a portion of the arm remote from the support enabling the arm to be related to the merchandise on the arm. The transverse size of the arm all along its length including the demarcations and the label-bearing portion is limited so that the arm can readily enter a conventional opening in merchandise-bearing cards that are to be loaded onto and removed from the arm.

The free end portion 22 of the arm bears demarcations distributed along its length to provide a measure of the amount of merchandise on the rod and a label at a portion of the arm remote from the support enabling the arm to be related to the merchandise on the arm. The transverse size of the arm all along its length including the demarcations and the label-bearing portion is limited so that the arm can readily enter a conventional opening in merchandise-bearing cards that are to be loaded onto and removed from the arm.

Abstract: A carton and blank therefor has a transverse tear-strip and panel areas with adjoining ends flaps adapted to be erected adjacent the tear-strip so as to form carton dividers. When the tear-strip is removed, the dividers form end barriers across separated carton sections. Where the tear-strip provides margins for the carton dividers, the tear-strip and the erected dividers form a carton-stiffening channel.
