Abstract Each sheet-form layer of plastic film to be superposed with another layer between layers of non-heat conducting material, such as paperboard, is perforated in a pattern such that, when the layers of plastic are superposed between the layers of normally non-heat conducting material for heat sealing, the perforations of each layer of plastic are aligned with imperforated portions of the superposed perforated layer of plastic. When sealing heat and pressure are applied to the superposed layers of plastic and paperboard or the like by conventional heated dies, each layer of plastic is rapidly sealed to the inner surface of both layers of paperboard, or, if initially sealed to the inner surface of one layer, is rapidly sealed directly to the inner surface of the other layer of paperboard. The article display package encloses an article between two sealed layers of sheet-form plastic forming transparent windows in openings of two superposed layers of paperboard to each of which both layers of plastic are also sealed.
An article display package comprising at least one article enclosed between two superposed sheet-form layers of transparent plastic positioned between two layers of paperboard, each layer of plastic having openings therein with the openings in one layer being offset with respect to the openings in the other layer so that each layer of plastic is in direct contact with, and is heat sealed to, both layers of paperboard along marginal areas bounding a window cut-out in at least one layer of paperboard.

An article display package comprising at least one article enclosed between two superposed sheet-form layers of transparent plastic positioned between two layers of paperboard, each layer of plastic having openings therein with the openings in one layer being offset with respect to the openings in the other layer so that each layer of plastic is in direct contact with, and is heat sealed to, both layers of paperboard along marginal areas bounding a window cut-out in at least one layer of paperboard.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
59 words
An article display package, as claimed in claim 1, in which each layer of plastic has a series of spaced perforations extending throughout said marginal areas; the perforations in the two layers of plastic having a pattern such that each perforation in one layer of plastic is aligned with an imperforate portion of the other superposed layer of plastic.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
