Abstract

A package for a plurality of unfilled ice cream cones is fabricated from a conventional frustoconical tub, an insertable annular stand and a ported keeper disk resting on the stand for holding interspersed inverted and right-side-up stacks of nested ice cream cones. The array of cone stacks is preferably an upright center stack surrounded by alternated inverted and upright stacks. The upright stacks are cushioned from one another at the upper ends thereof and the inverted stacks are canted outward by the keeper disk to make room for the upright stacks. A heat sealable cover and overlying lid are provided to complete the package.
