Abstract: A package for a prolate spheroidal ball having a longitudinal axis. A back plate is disposed between a first end and a second end of the package. A first cradle extends from the back plate adjacent the first end, and is operative to receive a first portion of the prolate spheroidal ball along the longitudinal axis. A wing portion extends from the back plate adjacent the second end, and at least partially circumscribes the longitudinal axis of the prolate spheroidal ball. A flap portion extends from the wing portion and defines an end surface of the package. The longitudinal axis intersects the flap portion.

Abstract: A display packaging for receiving and containing a spherical object includes a series of interconnected triangular panels with alternating orientations looped in a circular fashion. Base edges of the triangular panels form pentagonal edges to define two opposing pentagonal voids that expose a substantial portion of two sides of a contained spherical object to allow a consumer to visually inspect and/or feel the spherical object. The display packaging may be assembled from a blank that includes a first region, middle region, and second region. The middle region includes the series of interconnected triangular panels. The first region and second region each includes a series of interconnected and alternating base triangular portions and vertex triangular panels. The display packaging may be assembled from the blank by folding and overlaying first and second regions on the middle region to form a folded blank and looping the folded blank.

Abstract: A display packaging for maintaining an object includes a pair of opposing side panels each having a void therein with a perimeter defined by a curved edge of each side panel. The side panels are flexibly attached to a top front panel and a bottom front panel at fold lines. A void is located between the front panels with a perimeter defined by opposing curved edges of the front panels. The voids in the side panels adjoin the void between the front panels to form a C-shaped opening that exposes a substantial portion of a maintained object to allow a consumer to visually inspect and/or feel the object. The display packaging may be assembled from a blank that includes a region having the side panels and front panels with a continuous void therein circumscribed by the curved edges of the side panels and front panels.
