Abstract
A compact and stackable package for displaying and protecting food and other consumer products is produced by a method wherein the package can be built around the consumer product utilizing primary components which can be shipped to the assembly location in essentially flat condition to thereby minimize shipping costs. The method includes providing a platform member upon which the consumer product is placed, and then adhering a sleeve member around the periphery of the platform member to impart a cubic form to the package. Also, the consumer product can be covered with a transparent film wrap to secure the product to the platform member.
Claims16
A method of fabricating a stackable package containing a consumer product, comprising the steps of
- providing a platform member which includes a substantially planar portion of generally rectangular outline on which the consumer product may be placed and supported, and a base portion secured along one side edge of the planar portion and extending laterally outwardly therefrom so as to be adapted to support the consumer product thereon and to support the platform member on a horizontal surface with the planar portion disposed in a substantially vertical orientation,
- placing a consumer product on the platform member,
- adhering an elongate strip of material completely about the periphery of the platform member with the ends of the strip overlapping each other below the base portion of the platform member, and so that the strip of material forms a sleeve member which extends substantially perpendicular to the planar portion of the platform member and imparts a cubic form to the package, and
- covering the consumer product with a transparent film wrap which is secured to the platform member and/or the sleeve member.

- adhering an elongate strip of material around at least a significant portion of the periphery of the platform member and so that the strip of material forms a sleeve member which extends substantially perpendicular to the planar portion of the platform member and so that the base portion of the platform member and the sleeve member impart a cubic form to the packages and then
- securing a transparent film over wrap to the platform member so as to overlie the transparent wrap and the sleeve member.
