ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a package for a flashlight or similar consumer product that permits a consumer to touch and feel the flashlight without removing it from its secure position within the package. The package comprises a cardboard box arranged in the shape of a "C". The box comprises first and second arms that extend parallel from one side of a support structure to define a display volume between the horizontal arms of the "C". First and second holders are embedded in the first and second arms, respectively, to face each other and hold the flashlight in place. The product is held in the display volume by securing its respective ends to the holders. The package, comprising at least the support structure, the arms and the holders, permits a consumer sufficient access to the product to use his tactile senses to access the product without having to first open the package.
