Abstract
A unique, lockable or closable, reusable product holding and displaying container system which virtually eliminates breakage of fragile products is achieved by providing a product holding supporting base and a ramped, sloping product support surface cooperatively associated therewith and extending upwardly from the base. By employing the present invention, each of the products distributed and retained in the container system is maintained in a side-by-side, contacting relationship, angularly disposed relative to the supporting base, with the angle defined by the ramped, support surface. In this way, each product is in direct, contacting, engagement with each adjacent product, with each product fully supported in this position. As a result, no product is placed in a position wherein unwanted stress or breakage points exist which would otherwise cause the fragile product to be broken.
