  • Patent number: 9757007
    Abstract: A blank for a package, a package, and a kit having a package with a cleaning implement therein.

A window is disposed in the front panel, and registered with the portions of the side panel having relatively lesser depth. This geometry provides the benefit that the package may hold all contents deemed helpful at point of sale, while allowing the cleaning implement to be visible through or protrude through the window without shadows being cast from the side panels.
