Abstract
A display packaging assembly for swim masks and goggles which have corrective lenses. In a first preferred embodiment for a mask and a second preferred embodiment for a pair of goggles, the product is contained in a transparent plastic shell and is located on a mannequin face or face portion in a configuration which simulates how the product would be worn by a swimmer. The opposing surfaces of the shell and the simulated eye portions of the mannequin are open at the lenses of the product. These openings permit a prospective purchaser to look through the corrective lenses without opening the package and without removing the product. Because the mannequin face or face portion is curved to provide a generally concave surface, the prospective purchaser may place the lenses of the mask or goggles in close proximity to his or her eyes without necessarily touching the package to the face and without touching any portion of the product itself.
