Package For Holding A Product On A Display Peg
A package for holding and displaying a consumer product on a peg has a front panel defining a thru opening to receive the peg. The thru opening has a first tab and a second tab. The first tab extends from a first edge of the thru opening and has a conductive bottom edge. The second tab extends from a second edge of the thru opening and has a conductive bottom edge spaced apart from the conductive bottom edge of the first tab. The conductive bottom edge of the first and second tabs are in electrical contact with the peg.
1 . A package for holding and displaying a product on a peg comprising:
a front panel, defining a thru opening dimensioned to receive the peg;
a first tab extending from a first edge of the thru opening, the first tab having a conductive bottom edge;
a second tab extending from a second edge of the thru opening, the second tab having a conductive bottom edge spaced apart from the conductive bottom edge of the first tab, wherein the conductive bottom edge of the first and second tabs are in electrical contact with the peg.
2 . The package of claim 1 , wherein the front panel defining the thru opening has a circular bottom edge.
3 . The package of claim 2 , wherein the front panel defining the thru opening has a circular upper edge.
4 . The package of claim 3 , wherein the circular upper edge has a radius that is less than a radius of the circular bottom edge.
5 . The package of claim 1 , wherein the conductive bottom edge of at least the first tab and the second tab comprises a conductive ink trace.
6 . The package of claim 1 , wherein the conductive bottom edge of at least the first tab and the second tab comprises a conductive wire.
7 . The package of claim 1 , wherein the conductive bottom edge of the first tab and the conductive bottom edge of the second tab form an electrically conductive loop.
8 . The package of claim 7 , wherein the electrically conductive loop has a resistance of about 1 k ohms to about 200 k ohms.
9 . The package of claim 1 , where each of the first tab and the second tab have a neck region extending to an enlarged distal end.
10 . The package of claim 1 , wherein the first and second tabs have an included angle of about 0 degrees to about 90 degrees.
11 . The package of claim 1 , wherein the conductive bottom edge of the first tab and the conductive bottom edge of the second tab are curved.
12 . The package of claim 1 , wherein the conductive bottom edge of the first tab and the conductive bottom edge of the second tab include a plurality of fingers.
13 . The package of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the first tab and the second tab comprises a tear relief.
14 . The package of claim 1 , wherein a diameter of the thru-opening is less than a diameter of the peg.
15 . An interactive product display system comprising:
an elongated display peg having a circular bottom surface, a generally flat top surface, and a pair of angled side surfaces connecting the bottom surface and the top surface, wherein the angled side surfaces are electrically conductive and the top and bottom surfaces are not electrically conductive; and
a package having a front panel, defining a thru opening dimensioned to receive the elongated display peg, a first tab extending from a first edge of the thru opening, the first tab having a conductive bottom edge, a second tab extending from the second edge of the thru opening, the second tab having a conductive bottom edge spaced apart from the conductive bottom edge of the first tab, wherein the conductive bottom edge of the first and second tabs are in electrical contact with the respective angled side surfaces of the peg.
16 . The display system of claim 15 , wherein the angled side surfaces each comprises a conductive ink trace.
17 . The display system of claim 15 , wherein the front panel defining the thru opening has a circular bottom edge.
18 . The display system of claim 17 , wherein the front panel defining the thru opening has a circular upper edge.
19 . The display system of claim 15 , wherein the conductive bottom edges of the first and second tabs close a circuit between the angled side surfaces of the peg.
20 . The display system of claim 15 , wherein the conductive bottom edge of the first tab and the conductive bottom edge of the second tab form an electrically conductive loop with the angled side surfaces of the peg.
