Abstract

See full text

A package (10) is disclosed including a tray (22) having an annular flange (34) extending from the open end (26) of a basket (24) receiving a promotional device (38). The open end (26) of the basket (24) is closed by a clear membrane label (32) extending thereover and onto the flange (34) to seal the promotional device (38) in the basket (24). The basket (24) is inserted into an opening (20) formed in a panel (14) of a carton (12) until the flange (34) abuts with the panel (14) around the opening (20). A second label (36) is secured over the tray (22) and to the panel (14) around the flange (34) to attach the tray (22) to the carton (12). To temporarily lock the tray (22) to the carton (12) prior to the securement of the second label (36), the basket ( 24) can be friction fit in the opening (20), can include detents (40) formed in the side walls (28) of the basket (24) for abutting with the panel (14) opposite to the flange (34), or the like.
