ABSTRACT:
A multi-page booklet is disclosed, comprising a front cover, a rear cover, a spine joining the covers, and several pages of information secured to the spine is disclosed. The covers may be pivoted relative to the spine to expose the pages of the booklet. The booklet is integrated with a conventional box and/or an auxiliary flap operatively associated with the box. The flap and/or the covers of the booklet may be formed of a rigid material to serve as a protective cover, or barrier, for the booklet, which is printed of a lower quality paper. The flap, when closed, presses the booklet snugly against the rear panel of the box; when opened, the flap imparts stability to the box, and allows the consumer to read the pages of the booklet. Tabs may be formed at the free edge of the flap to lock same to the box, and retain the booklet pressed thereagainst, during packaging, handling, storage, and display. The information bearing capacity of the multi-page booklet is several times greater than the capacity found on the exterior surfaces of the conventional box, and present commercial potential for mass-marketing organizations.
