Abstract
A packaging and display system includes a plurality of items having a substantially similar shape and size but differing product identifying indicia being provided on respective display surfaces of the items. The items are connected together in a chain by hinges mounted in alternating fashion along the chain between front and back surfaces of the items. A releasable attachment means is provided on each of the items so that when the items are folded together to form a compact bundle, the bundle is retained until pulled apart. When the items are unfolded, the items can assume a chain-like configuration in either a zig-zag pattern or a straight line pattern.
Claims19
A packaging and display system, comprising:
- a plurality of items each having a substantially similar shape and size and a display surface containing product identifying indicia but wherein the product identifying indicia differs for at least two of the items;
- the items being connected together in a chain by hinges mounted at a side edge of the items in alternating fashion along the chain between front and back surfaces of the items;
- a releasable attachment member being provided on each of the items adjacent a side edge laterally opposite the side edge where the respective hinge is mounted and on a same respective front or back surface of each of the items where the respective hinge is mounted;
- and
- the hinges and releasable attachment members being arranged and located such that the items can be closed upon one another into a compact bundle or can be unfolded by release of the releasable attachment members so that the individual items can assume a linked together configuration in either a zig-zag pattern or a straight line pattern.
A packaging and display system, comprising:
- a plurality of items which are to be sold together as a unit;
- the items being connected together in a chain by hinges mounted at side edges of the items in alternating fashion along the chain between front and back surfaces of the items;
- said hinges having adhesive attachment means for permitting the hinges to be pulled off of the individual items so as to permit separation of the items when desired;
- and
- the hinges being positioned to connect the items so that when the items are unfolded they form a ziz-zag or straight line pattern in a linked together configuration and when folded comprise a compact bundle.
