ABSTRACT:
A plastic shipping and display package and a method of making the shipping and display package are disclosed for use in packaging an array of articles in closely spaced relation. The shipping package includes a layer of thermoplastic polymeric material that forms a molded-in-place tray resting on a lower article-contacting surface. The tray has support pockets for the article to be shipped, the pockets being formed by placing the articles in the polymeric material while it is still moldable and allowing the material to set. An upper article-contacting surface prevents vertical movement of the articles and, in conjunction with the tray, movement by the articles within the shipping package is virtually eliminated. The article-contacting surfaces can be the end closures of a corrugated container or formed from flat, structurally rigid materials that can be enclosed in some outer overwrap, such as a shrinkwrap, to envelope the array of articles.
