Abstract
A versatile, ecological, and economical package including, in one form, plastic inner and outer rings or circular frames, and two recycled paperboard face sheets. The inner and outer rings each have an annular portion and a face portion inwardly extending from opposite ends of the annular portions. Each of the face portions form an opening. The face sheets each have a diameter larger than the diameter of the openings so that the face sheets are retained within the outer and inner rings. The rigid inner and outer rings arid the semi-rigid face sheets collectively provide rigid package faces. Also disclosed are variants in the construction of the rings and holder as well as certain accessory elements. In another form, a holder or package of unitary construction includes two protection sheets, and a side portion at the peripheries of the protection sheets and extending between the protection sheets. The protection sheets each have a fixed portion, a hinged portion, and a living hinge pivotally connecting the hinged portion to the fixed portion. The side portion has a fixed portion extending between the protection sheet fixed portions and at least one hinged portion extends between the hinged portions of the protection sheets. Also disclosed are variants of the package of unitary construction.
