Abstract
Display packaging accepts different-sized, preferably generally cylindrical containers and holds them in fixed relative positions such that they are arranged along a common frontal plane and their labels can be read. The display packaging includes a sheet material that is folded to have a base section upon which the containers rest, a vertically-extending section, and a yoke section that projects forward from the vertically-extending section and includes a recess that fits around the top end of one container to properly position it so as to align with the other containers along a common frontal plane. A transparent film is wrapped around the sheet material and the containers to hold the containers in position.
