Abstract
A substantially transparent box is constructed and arranged to include a collared shirt and a necktie in arrangement relative to one another and disposed such that these clothing articles are in registry with a hole in the box. The box comprises a single sheet of substantially transparent plastic having a series of first and second panels each being defined by respective folds. Selected first panels are bonded to another to define a hollow central cavity for the box, whereas selected second panels are folded to define peripheral ends for the box. The hollow cavity is sized to receive the shirt and necktie. The shirt and necktie are optionally arranged with bands that maintain a prescribed relative position to each other and to the box.

- and
- a bond permanently connecting one of the first panels to another of the first panels, wherein the panels are connected to define a hollow central cavity for the box, the hollow cavity being sized to receive the shirt and necktie;
- wherein the plastic sheet includes a hole positioned relative to the clothing articles such that the outline of the hole overlies a portion of the articles;
