ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An improved package structure for shipping and displaying spark plugs is disclosed. The package structure includes a generally flat lid connected by a hinge along one end thereof to a base. The lid and the base have respective cooperating curved channels throughout their peripheries. In a closed position, the lid channel is received within the base channel throughout the periphery thereof, so that the lid is securely but releasably retained in the closed position and the overall strength of the package structure is increased. There are two raised portions integral with the bottom of the base. The raised portions have recesses for receiving the opposed ends of a plurality of spark plugs to support them in alternating fashion within the base. Two lips extend partially into an upper portion of each of the recesses to engage the ends of the spark plugs within the recesses. A cardboard insert further increases the strength of the package structure. A bottom portion of the insert extends throughout the base between the opposed raised portions and the front and rear ends. A vertical portion of the insert extends upwardly along the rear end of the package structure adjacent the hinge. A top portion of the insert extends throughout the lid. The sides of the base are tapered slightly inwardly from top to bottom, and a plurality of feet may be formed on one side of the package structure extending outwardly therefrom to give the package structure the ability to stand upwardly on one side. The entire package structure can be vacuum thermo formed from a single piece of transparent industrial grade polyvinylchloride material.
