Abstract
A ready to stock multiple product package has upper and lower box portions. The upper box portion has an open bottom and the lower box portion has an open top. The lower box portion is selectively sized so that it can be slidingly inserted into the upper box portion to close the open bottom of the upper box portion. A plurality of identical product packages are contained within the lower box portion, each of which has a spike receiving hole proximate its top. The product packages are arranged so that the holes are in line. By holding the lower box portion in one hand, the spike can be passed through a notch in the top edge of the lower box portion and sequentially through the in line spike receiving holes of the individual packages whereupon the lower box portion can be lowered to separate the lower box portion from the individual packages.
