Abstract
A foldable display stand or a display package incorporates a releasable sliding locking mechanism. The locking mechanism comprises a folded portion which forms a pair of latching members which engage in a die-cut button opening of a panel for locking the sliding member in position. The locking mechanism may be released by depressing the latch to disengage from the opening. The sliding locking mechanism is also applicable in conjunction with locking struts for erecting a display stand.
