Abstract
An easel type display package suitable for containing and displaying a plurality of individually packaged products includes a rear wall, a pair of sidewalls, and a front wall which is substantially cut-away to reveal the product. The rear wall is inclined rearwardly to support the product within the package in an upwardly tilted position. Stabilizing structure for preventing the package from tipping over includes a support flap cut from the rear wall and a connecting flap hingedly connected to the support flap. The support flap is hingedly connected to the rear wall and extends downwardly and outwardly therefrom, while the connecting flap extends inwardly toward the rear wall and is provided with a locking tongue. A cover flap hingedly connected to the bottom wall extends upwardly in overlying relationship to the cut-out and includes a slit for receiving the locking tongue of the connecting flap therein. The lower surface of the connecting flap extends coplanar with the bottom wall and provides a support surface in back of the package for stabilizing the same.
