A display box for a consumer article is presented that includes a base, a support member and a cover. The base has at least one platform that includes an outer surface, a bottom surface, and a flange extending from the at least one platform. The base further includes an opening in the bottom surface defined by edges of the flange. The support member is adapted for supporting the consumer article and has a pedestal that is selectively mountable on and decoupleable from the flange. The cover has a top wall and four side walls that define an inner surface. The cover is selectively coupled to and decoupled from the base and can be positioned in a first position, in which the outer surface of the base and the inner surface of the four side walls cooperate to seal the display box and to prevent an unauthorized decoupling of the cover (i.e. opening of the display. box). Preferably, mechanical assistance is required to separate the cover and the base. In one embodiment, the pedestal includes a cavity for receiving a security device such as an EAS marker. In this embodiment, the cavity of the platform is aligned with the opening through the base such that when the cover is in the first, closed position, the security device may be affixed within the cavity.
