Abstract

A reclosable display package of thin flexible thermoformed material with a bubble body for sealing to a plastic backing card is disclosed. The bubble body has top, left, right, and bottom flanges, and faces defining a bubble which encloses an article compartment. An egress opening is formed in one face or in portions of several faces of the body. The reclosable display package includes a cover independent of the body and connected to the body by an integral hinge. The cover is pivotable about the integral hinge to fully close the egress opening in the body of the package. The bottom, left, and right flanges of the blister together with portions of the attached backing card may be removed to form a package with no protruding flange on three sides.
