Abstract
The present invention provides an improved box and display package made of plastic and paperboard, or plastic and another type of substantially rigid, self-supporting material. Thus, there is provided a package made of a first sheet of plastic substantially rigid, self-supporting material, a second sheet of substantially rigid, self-supporting material, joining means joining the sheets together to form a unified composite package, and discrete fold lines in the package including at least a pair of discrete fold lines in the first sheet of material, and wherein the discrete fold lines are disposed and constructed to cooperate to form a walled enclosure when the package is in its setup condition, to form a substantially flat configuration when the package is in its fully collapsed condition, and to be moveable between its setup condition and fully collapsed condition by movement of the walls of the walled enclosure relative to each other so that it can be readily setup and collapsed by hand and by standard packaging machinery.
