Abstract A container for one or a plurality of like objects such as stereo cassettes, said container being formed from a cut and scored blank of paperboard or the like and comprised of a main panel having first and second article securing members foldably connected to opposed sides of a main panel. One of the article securing members is selectively foldable to secure one or more of the like objects into position, and the second securing member is provided with structure selectively foldable to position according to whether none or a pair of the objects is secured in position. Each of the article securing members has an element foldable into confronting and contacting relationship with the other article securing member, irrespective of the number or presence of the objects secured in position within the article securing members. Closure structure extends from the remaining opposed edges of the main panel and cooperates with the first and second article securing members.
A container selectively employable for the packaging of one or more like objects, such as cassettes, said container being formed from a cut and scored blank of paperboard, or the like, and comprising: a. a main panel; b. a first article securing member foldably connected to one side of said main panel and folded to position to define a tube; c. said tube having at least one element thereof, defined by two substantially parallel cuts extending into adjacent walls thereof, foldable on parallel fold lines to position to selectively secure one or more of said like objects into position; d. a second article securing member foldably connected to an opposite side of said main panel and folded to position to define a second tube; e. said second tube having an element formed in one of the walls thereof and being adapted to be folded out of the plane of said wall on a fold line extending transversely of the axis of said tube toward and into contact with said main panel; f. each of said article securing members having a panel foldable with respect thereto into confronting and contacting relationship with the corresponding panel of the other member irrespective of the number or presence of said like objects secured in position in said first and second article securing members; g. closure means extending from at least one other side of said main panel and cooperating with said first and second article securing members for holding same in position.
