Packaging and Methods for Displaying Tools

摘要

A package made of a single piece of cardboard, with at least one aperture, which encases, displays and prevents damage to a tool. The cardboard has a front portion, a back portion, a top portion, a bottom portion and two side portions. The top portion is formed by parallel creases between the front and back portions which, when folded, create a rectangular top portion. Insertion of a tab into a slit forms the bottom portion which serves as a horizontal ledge so the entire packaged tool stands upright. The aperture in the package permits a tool's grip to protrude from the package. The one piece cardboard construction with aperture may further enclose a clam or blister package which encloses any non-grip portion of a tool. Tool accessories may be placed and stored within the package. Additional apertures permit hanging onto a projection. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
