  • Patent number: 4056190
    Abstract: A template having a silhouette which represents the outline of a consumer-type article such as that of a craftsman and mechanic tool is packaged with the article by means of a backing member and an encasing element received on and supported by the backing member. The encasing element when received on and supported by the backing member thereby substantially immovably confines the article as well as the template therebeneath and forms a package of sturdy construction. The template is a unitary structure capable of removal with the article from the package including means for receiving the same on a supporting surface and serves the use of identification of the location of the article if for any reason the article may have been removed therefrom.
