Abstract

A combined package and display system for fabric goods includes a transparent or translucent polyethylene package, heat sealed or otherwise secured about its periphery, containing the goods and suitable advertising material. Where the product is, for example, a tarpaulin, also of polyethylene and having grommets about its periphery, and the package is formed so that its top edge is constructed as a means for attachment to a supporting surface and contains grommets of similar material and strength as those contained in the product itself. In this way, the package can be mounted for display purposes by its grommets, while the nature and quality of the grommets of the goods can be tangibly observed and felt by the prospective purchaser. Also secured, and displayed exteriorly by one of the package grommets, to the top edge of the package is a sample of the product itself, so that the actual product being sold is well protected when displayed for sale while permitting the prospective purchaser to tangibly test and feel the nature and character of the product.

(A) a transparent cover enveloping the goods;

(B) said cover being closed along its edges and forming a support section along at least one of said edges;

(C) a plurality of grommet reinforced openings in said support section;

(D) said openings being reinforced by grommets of the same size and physical properties as the grommets of the goods; and

2. The package system of claim 1 wherein said strip of material is secured to said cover by one of said grommets.

3. The package system of claim 1 wherein information imparting material is disposed interiorly of said cover between said cover and said goods.
