Abstract

Engraving an article of manufacture by receiving the article of manufacture contained in packaging having a removable portion which covers a targeted engraving area of the article contained therein, removing the removable portion of the packaging to expose the targeted engraving area of the article of manufacture for engraving the exposed targeted engraving area of the article of manufacture.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A package containing an article of manufacture having a target engraving area, comprising:
 a body which holds the article of manufacture therein;   a removable portion formed tenuously integral to the body of the packaging at one or more tenuous junctions, the removable cover configured to separate from the body upon application of force to at least one of the tenuous junctions to reveal a targeted engraving area of the article of manufacture contained within the packaging.   
     
     
         2 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the one or more tenuous junctions comprises perforation. 
     
     
         3 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the removable cover comprises a tab, the tab configured to be pulled to thereby apply the force at the at least one of the tenuous junctions to separate the removable cover from the body. 
     
     
         4 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the removable cover comprises a recess, the recess configured to allow the removable cover to be gripped and pulled to thereby apply the force at the at least one of the tenuous junctions to separate the removable cover from the body. 
     
     
         5 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the body comprises a recess, the recess configured to allow the removable cover to be gripped and pulled to thereby apply the force at the at least one of the tenuous junctions to separate the removable cover from the body. 
     
     
         6 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the removable cover comprises identical dimensions to the targeted engraving area of the article of manufacture. 
     
     
         7 . A package for holding an article of manufacture, comprising:
 a body configured to hold an article of manufacture having a targeted engraving area;   a removable cover formed tenuously integral to the body at one or more tenuous junctions, the removable cover configured to cover the targeted engraving area of the article of manufacture when the article of manufacture is held within the body of the package and to separate from the body upon application of force to at least one of the tenuous junctions to reveal the targeted engraving area of the article of manufacture when the article of manufacture is held within the body of the package.   
     
     
         8 . The package of  claim 7 , wherein at least one of the one or more tenuous junctions comprises perforation. 
     
     
         9 . The package of  claim 7 , wherein the removable cover comprises a tab, the tab configured to be pulled to thereby apply the force at the at least one of the tenuous junctions to separate the removable cover from the body. 
     
     
         10 . The package of  claim 7 , wherein the removable cover comprises a recess, the recess configured to allow the removable cover to be gripped and pulled to thereby apply the force at the at least one of the tenuous junctions to separate the removable cover from the body. 
     
     
         11 . The package of  claim 7 , wherein the body comprises a recess, the recess configured to allow the removable cover to be gripped and pulled to thereby apply the force at the at least one of the tenuous junctions to separate the removable cover from the body. 
     
     
         12 . The package of  claim 7 , wherein the removable cover comprises identical dimensions to the targeted engraving area of the article of manufacture.
