Product packaging having a remanent value

A packaged product comprising:

• at least one product arranged to form a structure to be packaged;
• a channel shaped receptacle for receiving and supporting the structure to be packaged;
• the channel shaped receptacle having a bottom wall on which the structure sits, with two side edges and two end edges defining a width and length of the bottom wall generally matching a width and length of the structure;
• the channel shaped receptacle having two upstanding side walls each connected along a respective side edge of the bottom wall so as to stand upwardly therefrom to a height to provide protection for sides of the structure;
• and an over-wrap material covering the channel shaped receptacle and the structure thereon;
• the channel shaped receptacle comprising:
• a first sheet having a front surface and a rear surface;
• a second sheet having a front surface and a rear surface;
• the rear surface of at least one of the first and second sheets having printed thereon indicia providing a remanent value therefor;
• with the rear surface of the first sheet being connected to the rear surface of the second sheet to form a common assembly, which assembly forms the channel shaped receptacle including the bottom wall and the two upstanding side walls;
• either the first sheet alone or both sheets being perforated to define a perforated tear line thereon arranged to define a portion of the first sheet which can be opened relative to the second sheet, by a user tearing through the perforated tear line, to expose the indicia;
• wherein the perforation tear line is arranged to form, from the first sheet a first sheet portion and from the second sheet a second sheet portion, where the two sheet portions are of identical shape and size, by tearing off side and end pieces.

• a channel shaped receptacle for receiving and supporting the structure to be packaged;
• the channel shaped receptacle having a bottom wall on which the structure sits, with two side edges and two end edges defining a width and length of the bottom wall generally matching a width and length of the structure;
• the channel shaped receptacle having two upstanding side walls each connected along a respective side edge of the bottom wall so as to stand upwardly therefrom to a height to provide protection for sides of the structure;
• and an over-wrap material covering the channel shaped receptacle and the structure thereon;
• the channel shaped receptacle comprising:
• a first sheet having a front surface and a rear surface;
• a second sheet having a front surface and a rear surface;
• the rear surface of at both of the first and second sheets having printed thereon indicia providing a remanent value therefor;
• with the rear surface of the first sheet being connected to the rear surface of the second sheet to form a common assembly, which assembly forms the channel shaped receptacle including the bottom wall and the two upstanding side walls;
• the first and second sheets being arranged such that the indicia on the rear surface of the first sheet are covered by the second sheet and the indicia on the rear surface of the second sheet are covered by the first sheet;
• either the first sheet alone or both sheets being perforated to define a perforated tear line thereon arranged to define a portion of the first sheet which can be opened relative to the second sheet, by a user tearing through the perforated tear line, to expose the indicia.

• a second sheet having a front surface and a rear surface;
• the rear surface of both of the first and second sheets having printed thereon indicia providing at least one game to be played by a user;
• with the rear surface of the first sheet being connected to the rear surface of the second sheet to form a common assembly, which assembly forms the channel shaped receptacle including the bottom wall and the two upstanding side walls;
• both the first and second sheets being perforated to define a perforated tear line thereon along which the sheets can be torn by a user to allow a portion of the first sheet to be opened relative to the second sheet to expose the indicia on both of the sheets;
• wherein the perforated tear line includes two portions each along a respective one of the side edges of the bottom wall arranged such that the channel shaped receptacle can be torn along the side edges of the bottom wall to simultaneously remove the upstanding side walls and leave the bottom wall;
• and wherein the indicia for the at least one game are printed only the bottom portion and thus remain available for playing the game when the side walls are removed.
