Abstract

Abstract A display device for folded soft goods comprising a planar back portion, a folded up front portion, a bottom portion separating the front and back portion and forming a space for the reception of the folded goods, a roof portion adapted to be folded down from the other end of the back portion, side flaps cut out from the bottom portion and adapted in folded-up condition to act as distance spacers between said front and back portions, the arrangement being such that the spacers, from which the side flaps are cut out, form windows in the bottom portion so that the color of the contents of the package becomes visible when stacked horizontally and the side flaps act as lateral supports for the folded goods resting on the bottom portion. The tops of the side flaps are formed by U-shaped score lines so that the upper edge of each side flap has upwardly extending fingers providing additional lateral support for the folded article.
