Abstract
Abstract A display container for caps having transparent panels. The package frame is constructed from a single blank of sheet material, which has been cut to allow folding into a rectangular box with a protruding vertical rear double panel. The dimensions of the box are designed to accomodate a cap (headwear worn by men and women) such that the bill of the cap fits securely within the rear double panel. A large window space is cut out of the box and rear double panel and is covered with a transparent plastic material. The display package completely contains the cap and also prominantly displays the front and the bill of the cap.
