A package for an illuminating writing implement is provided which protects the writing implement, yet gives a consumer limited and controlled access to the operating mechanism used to activate the illumination of the writing implement while it remains packaged. The present package is a blister-type package which envelops the writing implement and protects it from abrasive and impact damage as well as, theft. An upper end of the writing implement includes a power switch which is linearly displaceable between an off position, a momentary-on position, and a locked-on position. An opening within the package allows the power switch to extend outside the package so that a consumer may operate the power switch without removing the writing implement from the package. The opening is sized and shaped to restrict linear displacement of the power switch between the off position and the momentary-on position. This switch limitation allows the consumer to momentarily test the illumination of the writing implement while preventing the switch from being moved to the locked-on position while the writing implement remains packaged. |
