Abstract
A package for holding a mesh onlay having a mesh plug attached perpendicularly thereto. The package comprises a folder which has a central floor panel for receiving the mesh onlay and mesh plug assembly. The central floor panel has a pair of opposed major sides and a pair of opposed minor sides. A first end panel is foldably connected to one minor side of the central panel for retaining the mesh onlay on the central panel in a substantially flat position when the first end panel is folded inwardly on top of the mesh onlay and central floor panel. A connecting panel foldably connected to the opposite minor side of the central panel is, in turn, foldably connected to a plug retaining panel. The plug retaining panel secures the mesh plug in a position substantially perpendicular to the mesh onlay and the central floor panel. The plug retaining panel is in turn foldably connected to a second end panel. The assembled package may have a pyramidal-like configuration.
