Abstract
A reclosable display package of thin flexible thermoformed material with a bubble body for mounting on a backing card is disclosed. The bubble body has continuous top, left and right peripheral flanges, a bottom flange, a front face to the body, and an egress opening in the front face. The reclosable display package includes a cover integral with the body and connected to the body by an integral hinge. The cover is pivotable about the integral hinge to fully close the egress opening in the front face of the package. The cover has a sealant tool opening adapted to permit the passage of a heat or pressure sealing tool through the plastic of the cover to make direct contact with the bottom peripheral flange and seal it to the backing card. The cover may have feet located on either side of the sealant tool opening to support the package in a free standing posture when the cover is closed, or the cover may be rotated about the integral hinge of the package to serve as a rear base and support for display of the package in a rearwardly inclined position with the egress opening uncovered.
