    Abstract: A package may include a tray configured to receive a product. The product may be retained or positioned in the tray by a fixed anchor and one or more movable anchors. One or more paper springs may be coupled to the movable anchors, and bias the movable anchors in a retention configuration whereby the product is retained or positioned in a first configuration. Upon actuation of the movable anchors, and overcoming the spring force imparted by the paper spring, the product may be released from the packaging.

    Abstract: A package may include a sled configured to receive a product, and a sleeve configured to receive the sled through a first or second opening. The sleeve may include a top wall, a bottom wall, and first and second sidewalls, defining the first and second openings. The sleeve may include a rib extending downward from the top wall and positioned substantially parallel to an edge of the top wall proximate the first opening. The rib may engage the sled when the package is in a closed position, and in response to a force sliding the sleeve relative to the sled, the rib may deflect and produce an indication of opening or closing.
