ABSTRACT:
A reusable package and storage album (1) displays and stores a multi-component product, combining the appearance of a blister pak with the security of a vacuformed clamshell package. Two sections (17&19) joined by hinges (43&45) to a spine (21), formed principally of plastic (11) and paperboard (9) materials, fold into a book or album-like structure to house the product components. Ample advertising space (9) is available on the exterior (3, 2, 21) and interior (23) surfaces for a layer of printed matter (13). The album type storage (17, 37, 19, 23) is helpful, discourages disposal of the packaging, which aids the environment, and allows manufacturer advertising and other printed information to persist beyond the sale. Hinges (43, 45) comprise an inverted rectangular U-shape in section in geometry. Windows (5, 7, 12) may be included to allow a view of the components. A window (5) formed in one album section (17) may be recessed to also prevent a component in the other album section (19) from flopping about when handling the package.
