Abstract: A shipping and/or display package for a disc. The package includes front and rear panels that are closed about the disc. Each of the first and second panels includes a disc-shaped embossed portion having a depth of approximately one half the thickness of the disc. The embossed regions cooperatively define a disc cavity that closely receives the disc. The front panel defines a window that permits viewing of the disc. The package further includes a transparent film extending over the window. The rear panel may include a plurality of die cut fingers positioned about the embossed region to aid in retaining the disc in the embossed region during packaging.

Abstract: A wallet card package having a wallet card secured to a panel. The panel includes a card flap that is pivotal about a fold line. The card is secured to and carried by the card flap so that the package is selectively movable from a closed position in which an magnetic strip on the card is covered and an open position in which the card is swung out from the panel while remaining secured to the card flap such that the magnetic strip is exposed for activation purposes. The card may be disposed between a pair of panels, with the front panel defining an opening permitting viewing of the front surface of the card and the rear panel including a cover flap that covers the magnetic strip when the package is in the closed position.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for assembling a blister package. The apparatus includes a packaging jig having a plurality of perimeter locating pins that are arranged to extend around the perimeter of the package when assembled on the jig. In a first aspect, the jig also includes an interior locating pin positioned inwardly from the perimeter locating pins to register a blister and possibly an article during assembly. In a second aspect of the invention, the jig further includes a plurality of exterior locating pins positioned outwardly from the perimeter locating pins to register an article to be packaged during assembly. The blister package is assembled by sequentially positioning the display cards, blister, and article on the jig such that the locating pins register the various components.

Abstract: A wallet card package having a wallet card secured between front and rear panels by a layer of peelable adhesive. The upper portion of the wallet card is sandwiched between the front and rear panels at the bottom of the package. A layer of peelable adhesive secures the upper portion of the card to the front and/or rear panels. The lower portion of the card extends from the bottom of the package and includes a magnetic strip that is accessible without removing the card from the package. The front panel may define a window permitting viewing of the upper portion.

Abstract: A container moldable from a resilient, semirigid plastic material includes a transparent cover member and an opaque base member. The cover member includes a depending peripheral skirt having an angled slot formed in the junction of the skirt with a wall of the cover. The base member includes an outwardly extending, generally horizontal tab insertable through the slot in the cover member. A ramp-shaped detent formed integral with the tab prevents removal of the cover from the base when the cover is opened and provides a hinged connection between the cover member and the base member.
