Abstract

A display package for a plurality of teat cup liners has a support structure (1) of a foldable sheet material comprising a plane wall portion (2), and a support flap (3), which hangs together with the wall portion (2) and is folded substantially transverse to the latter, the support flap (3) being provided with a plurality of recesses (12) situated aligned with each other. Each recess (12) has an extension, which is larger than the diameter of the tubular portion (2)5 of the teat cup liner, but less than the diameter of the head portion (26) of the teat cup liner. The tubular portions (25) of the teat cup liners extend through the recesses (12) and along the wall portion (2) substantially parallel with each other, so that the teat cup liners are supported by the support flap (3) and the wall portion (2), the head portions (26) abutting against the support flap (3). A transparent plastic foil (28) encloses the support structure (1) and the teat cup liners (25), the plastic foil being stretched against these, so that the support structure and the teat cup liners are kept fixed against each other by the plastic foil.
