Packaging for a patient interface

Packaging for a patient interface comprising a seal-forming structure with at least a nasal region, wherein the seal forming structure is coupled to a positioning and stabilising structure with at least a first tie for holding the seal-forming structure in a therapeutically effective position on a patient's head, the packaging comprising:

• a plurality of panels arranged to be folded inwardly to define a housing for the patient interface, the plurality of panels comprising a pair of opposed side panels and a pair of opposed end panels;
• and
• a panel retainer that is arranged to prevent outward collapse of the panels such that the patient interface is held in a compressed state;
• wherein at least one of the panels comprises at least one patient interface retainer configured to removably attach to the patient interface;
• and
• wherein the panel retainer is releasable to cause the patient interface in the compressed state to urge one or more of the panels outwardly, to thereby enable display of the patient interface in a substantially in-use configuration, and
• wherein one of the end panels comprises at least two patient interface retainers arranged to attach to the patient interface on either side of the seal-forming structure, or at opposed ends of a posterior strap of the positioning and stabilising structure.

• wherein each end panel comprises at least one patient interface retainer, and each patient interface retainer of the end panels is positioned to provide a clearance to accommodate the side panels when the panels are folded inwardly.
