ABSTRACT:
A packaging container is provided which allows an enclosed product to be viewed, inspected, and handled without the risk of damage, soiling, or theft. In an exemplary embodiment the container comprises an outer portion and an inner portion, wherein the product may be contained within the inner portion and the inner portion may be at least partially removed from the outer portion. As a specific example, the container may comprise a rigid outer box and a transparent flexible inner bag attached to the outer box. The inner bag, in conjunction with the box, forms an enclosure for the product, and allows the product to be at least partially removed from the rigid box while still being fully enclosed by the packaging container. The container may be closed or sealed at one end and partially blocked at the other end through the use of displaceable barriers. The purchaser may displace the barriers and remove the object from the confines of the outer portion of the container while the object is still contained and confined by the inner portion of the container. Thus the product may be inspected but may not be removed from the package or dirtied or damaged, nor may another product be inserted into the package without evidence of tampering existing.
