Abstract

A package comprising a molded plastic base with an upstanding peripheral section and a transparent cover having a skirt which telescopes the peripheral section and is secured to the latter to enclose an article to be packaged. A tab is molded integrally with the base at one edge of the peripheral section and is connected to the base by a fold line so that the tab may either project from the base for use in hanging the package or be folded under the base to permit a plurality of packages to be stacked one on top of the other. A sheet with identifying indicia extends across the fold line and has a portion secured to the tab and a portion secured to the adjacent side of the peripheral section so that the article may be identified whether the package is hung or stacked.
