Abstract

In one example, we describe a new structure and shape for the packaging objects, for storage, display, and transportation. For example, it can be helpful for the consumers to test/examine/try-before-buy the object(s). It has an opening/closing mechanism, for the object to be secure inside that packaging, without destroying the merchandise or packaging (by the consumer at the store), so that it can be redisplayed on the shelf (at the store), again. Many examples and variations are given here.
