Abstract
An ecologically-acceptable and easy-to-open package formed exclusively of paperboard for the display and sale of a plurality of cylindrical articles (such as batteries) as a unit. The package includes a base for maintaining a plurality of cylindrical articles upright and parallel in a compact, horizontally-aligned configuration. The base includes a base top, a base bottom, and a base sidewall connecting the base top and the base bottom. A header extends upwardly from the base top. Where there are two such articles in the package, the base sidewall is trapezoidal; where there are four, hexagonal.
