Abstract
Abstract A display card blank for forming a display card having an integral pocket. The pocket is particularly adapted to hold coupons, recipes, or other informations in printed form, and the display card itself is so arranged that it can be hung from hooks, or it can be positioned on a shelf and held in position by the weight of the product involved, or it can be set up in an easel arrangement to display the message on the card and the articles in the pocket, or it can be attached to a pole-type display. The display card blank is so configured that only a single printing pass is needed to print both the card surface and the front panel of the pocket.
