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.
