Abstract A tamperproof display package for a generally spheroidal shaped article having retaining protruberances extending therefrom is in the form of a tubular walled body formed from a flat unitary blank of paperboard or the like, and has an open upper end receiving the article and locking the same thereto at the protruberances thereof. Lower closure flaps are hingedly attached to the lower end of the body and are secured in overlapped relation, and at least one weakened line of tear is provided in the wall of the body defining a detachable portion of the tubular body to aid in removal of the said article and to breach the body so that the walled body is no longer usable after the article is removed therefrom.
