Claim:
A business card package comprising: a stack of business cards, each card including a main body bearing data and a short end tab connected to one end of the main body along a tear line; a cover including a back panel underlying said stack, said back panel including a segment underlying all the end tabs and a front panel hingedly connected to the back panel adjacent to the opposite ends of the main bodies so that the front panel can be swung between an open position wherein it exposes the main body of the uppermost card in the stack and a closed position wherein it covers the main body of the uppermost card in the stack; securements securing together said end tabs of the stack and said segment of the back panel; an end cap shaped and dimensioned to snugly receive all of said end tabs, said end cap including a back wall, opposite side walls, an end wall and a relatively stiff front wall with a free edge extending adjacent and parallel to said tear lines so that it can function as a knife edge to facilitate the clean separation of the main bodies of said cards from the corresponding end tabs thereof along the respective tear lines, said end cap walls together forming a box-like structure; a fastening device for fastening the end cap to said end tabs, and wherein the front wall of the end cap is not fastened to the uppermost end tab, and said cover front panel is longer than the main bodies of the cards so that when the front panel is in its closed position, a free end margin of the front panel may be tucked under said front wall of the end cap to retain that panel in said closed position.
