ABSTRACT:
A locking package is provided including a product holding member mounted to a graphics card. The product holding member is preferably made of semi-rigid clear plastic and includes a product holding portion, a pair of flanges forming card retaining channels on opposite sides of the product holding member, and hinged locking snaps. The flanges may be foldover flanges formed by heating and folding over the edge of the product holding member along cut score lines. The hinged snap locks preferably include a first raised portion, on one side of a hinge, and a second corresponding raised portion, on the opposite side of the hinge, which interlock, one inside the other, when the hinged snap lock is folded over at the hinge. The graphics card is preferably made of paperboard and includes an internal edge defining a locking hole. The graphics card is secured to the product holding member by sliding the graphics card into the channels formed by the flanges of the product holding member, to close the back of the product holding portion to form a product holding chamber, and closing the hinged snap locks to secure the card in place by engaging the snaps to the locking hole on the card. Glue or heat sealing is not required to form the locking package.
