Abstract
Packaging used to hold and ship consumer products may include components having complementary edges that are coupled together when the packaging is assembled. The packaging may also display a product in an aesthetically appealing way by holding the product in way that makes it appear as if the product is 'floating.' The packaging may be made of recyclable and/or biodegradable material, such as molded fiber paper material that reduces the environmental impact of the packaging.
