Abstract
A product package, product packaging and method for maximizing retail merchandizing space for merchandizing products including a product package having an exterior width dimension, having a flange and having a hinge and positioned in the interior of a display case having an internal width dimension that is smaller than the exterior width dimension of the packages by bending the flange at the hinge to reduce the width of the packages to thereby fit within the interior of the display case.
Claims20
A product tray for retail display in a display case, the display case having an internal width dimension, said tray comprising:
- a compartment for containing a product;
- a flange;
- an exterior width dimension that is larger than an internal width dimension of a display case into which the tray is placed for retail display;
- and
- at least one hinge on the flange adapted to allow the flange to flex to therefore allow the tray to be placed into the display case in the flexed orientation.
A product packaging for retail display, said packaging comprising:
- a retail display case having an internal width dimension;
- and
- a product package having an exterior width dimension that is larger than the internal width dimension of the display case, the package including a tray for containing a product, the tray having a periphery and having a flange positioned on the periphery;
- wherein the hinge enables the package to bend to thereby decrease its width dimension so as to fit within the display case in the bent orientation.
A method for maximizing retail merchandizing space for merchandizing products, said method including the steps of:
- sourcing products in packages, the packages having an exterior width dimension, having a flange and having a hinge on the flange;
- and
- displaying the packages in a display case having an internal width dimension that is smaller than the exterior width dimension of the packages by bending the flange at the hinge to reduce the width of the packages to thereby fit the packages within the interior of the display case.
