Display box and method for packaging an article in the box

A method for packaging in a box an article having a body and a movable elongated support such that the body of the article is displayed, the method comprising:

• providing a box having a bottom panel, a first side panel, a second side panel, a front panel, a top panel, a rear panel, a display opening having a perimeter, and an invertible panel,
• the bottom panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, the front panel, the top panel and the rear panel defining an interior space of the box,
• the first side panel, the second side panel, the front panel, and the rear panel being joined at their lower edges to the bottom panel,
• the first side panel, the second side panel, the front panel, and the rear panel being joined at their upper edges to the top panel,
• the first side panel and the second side panel being joined at their front edges to the front panel,
• the first side panel and the second side panel being joined at their rear edges to the rear panel,
• the display opening being formed in at least a portion of the first side panel and at least a portion of the front panel, and
• the invertible panel including a top edge, a bottom edge, and opposed side edges, the invertible panel being located above the display opening, the majority of the top edge of the invertible panel not being joined to any panels of the box, the majority of the bottom edge of the invertible panel not being joined to any panels of the box, one side edge of the invertible panel being joined to the front panel and the other side edge of the invertible panel being joined to the first side panel such that the invertible panel can be moved between a first position and a second position, the second position being nearer a central portion of the interior space of the box than the first position, the invertible panel being initially in the first position, the top panel being dimensioned such that a vertical passageway is formed behind the invertible panel when the invertible panel is in the first position;
• providing an article having a body and a movable elongated support;
• placing the elongated support into the vertical passageway such that a portion of the elongated support is above or rests on the top edge of the invertible panel;
• positioning the body of the article in the display opening of the box;
• and
• applying a force to the article and/or the invertible panel whereby the invertible panel is moved into the second position and the article is contained within the interior space of the box.
