Abstract

A multiple package has a top planar layer, a bottom layer, and an intermediate layer suitably bonded together to form an integral laminated structure. The intermediate layer has a plurality of projections extending through respective openings in the top layer. Articles of manufacture, such as wrench sockets, are slidably mounted over the respective projections and are retained thereon. The top and bottom layers of the multiple package are scored, both longitudinally and transversely, intermediately of the projections and to a sufficient depth, to enable an individual package to be cleanly broken off the multiple package.
