Abstract
The present toothbrush display tray provides a way to display toothbrushes in a horizontal orientation in a stacked vertical array. The display tray comprises a plastic layer with a plurality of recesses. A toothbrush is held in each recess and a sheet of material overlays the plastic layer and closes the toothbrush holding recesses. There is a series of perforation, serrations and/or slits around each packaged toothbrush so that each packaged toothbrush can be removed individually. The display tray also can have an information section above the product section. The display tray is made by forming a plurality of recesses, each to hold a toothbrush. Each recess is filled with a toothbrush and a sheet of material overlayed on the plastic layer and bonded to the plastic layer. Simultaneously or subsequent to bonding, the perforations are formed around each toothbrush to form individual toothbrush packages that are held in the display tray until removed by breaking the perforations, serrations and/or slits around a toothbrush package.
