ABSTRACT:
A one-piece light bulb package for protectively shipping and displaying glass light bulbs, the package fabricated from a one-piece pre-cut blank including two foldable center panels positioned in side-by-side juxaposition along a center fold line of weakness. The two center panels preferably have identical generally rectangular peripheral shapes, each center panel having a generally triangular panel adjacent either end. One triangular panel at diagonally opposing ends of the two rectangular center panels has a hole therethrough, one hole sized to supportably receive the smaller threaded metal end of the light bulb, the other hole sized to supportably receive at least a portion of the larger glass bulbous end of the light bulb. Each apertured triangular panel is spaced apart from the corresponding end of the rectangular center panel and connected thereto by a generally rectangular positioning panel. Along at least a portion of the correspondingly opposing edges of each triangular panel is a glue tab. All panels are separated one from another by crease or fold lines of weakness for ease of assembly. The blank is made from a single die or pre-cut relatively rigid, yet flexible, paperboard sheet. Glue tabs may be pre-glued or glue coated on assembly of the package around a bulb. The package may include indicia of bulb size. The package is generally a polyhedron having generally triangular top and bottom and rectangular vertical sides. Two sides are formed from the center panels, the third side being open for light bulb display therein.
