Abstract
A box includes bottom, opposed side, front, top, and rear panels, which define an interior space of the box. The box has a display opening and an invertible panel that includes a top edge. The invertible panel may include a first section coplanar with the front panel and a second section coplanar with a side panel when the invertible panel is in an unflexed position. In the unflexed position, a vertical passageway is formed behind the invertible panel and in front of the top panel. An article having a body depending from an elongated support can be packaged in the box by placing the support in the vertical passageway and positioning the body in the display opening. Force is applied to the article and/or the invertible panel whereby the invertible panel is moved into a second position and the article is contained within the interior space of the box.
