Abstract
A package for an elongated object such as a flashlight consists of a front panel and a rear panel, with two or more spaced V-shaped ribs being formed in the front panel. One end of the object is engaged with a first one of the ribs, and the opposite end of the object is engaged by the second one of the ribs in a manner such that the portion of the object between the ribs is exposed. Openings are formed in the walls of the front panel defining the ribs, and are configured in a manner so as to positively retain both ends of the object in position relative to the ribs once the front and rear panels are secured together. The package further includes a third rib spaced from one of the first or second ribs. Openings are formed in the third rib and the adjacent rib so as to receive end package objects such as batteries for the flashlight in a manner such that a portion of the length of the batteries is exposed between the ribs.
