Merchandise storage container with integrated tool

摘要

A merchandise storage container includes a tool that is used with the merchandise provided in the container. The tool is an integral part of the storage container until the user of the merchandise separates the tool from the container and uses it with the merchandise from the container. In one embodiment, a paperboard-based merchandise storage container having a storage chamber for flexible screen savers includes a squeegee that is integrally formed during the formation of the merchandise storage container. The squeegee is separable from the container after the user accesses the screen savers so that the user has a squeegee ready for the installation of the screen savers on a phone or tablet computer.
