Claim:
A method of fabricating a stackable package containing a consumer product, comprising the steps of providing a platform member which includes a substantially planar portion of generally rectangular outline on which the consumer product may be placed and supported, and a base portion secured along one side edge of the planar portion and extending laterally outwardly therefrom so as to be adapted to support the consumer product thereon and to support the platform member on a horizontal surface with the planar portion disposed in a substantially vertical orientation, placing a consumer product on the platform member, adhering an elongate strip of material completely about the periphery of the platform member with the ends of the strip overlapping each other below the base portion of the platform member, and so that the strip of material forms a sleeve member which extends substantially perpendicular to the planar portion of the platform member and imparts a cubic form to the package, and covering the consumer product with a transparent film wrap which is secured to the platform member and/or the sleeve member.
