Batteries are displayed for consumer purchase in a package which provides a means for spacing an electronic article surveillance sensor from the batteries contained within the package. By spacing the sensor away from the metal case of the batteries the interference typically caused by metal in close proximately to an electronic article surveillance sensor is eliminated. Two ways of accomplishing the spacing of the sensor from the batteries are disclosed. The first is a strip of cardboard placed between the surveillance sensor mounted on the side of the box and the batteries. The second is a specially designed box which has a box panel which divides the box into two compartments: one to hold the batteries and a second which creates a space between the batteries and the side of the box on which a surveillance sensor is mounted.

[ I claim:] [1.] A consumer display package containing a plurality of batteries, the package comprising:a paperboard blank having a first side panel, a top panel which extends from the first side panel, and a bottom panel which extends from the side panel beneath the top panel, and a second side panel which extends between the bottom panel and the top panel, the blank being folded and connected together to define a box in which the first side panel is spaced in parallel relation from the second side panel a first distance;a plurality of like batteries, the batteries having tops and bottoms joined by sides, wherein the batteries are positioned within the box, and the battery tops are adjacent to the top panel, and the battery bottoms are adjacent to the bottom panel, the batteries having a first thickness in the direction between the first side panel and the second side panel, the first thickness being less than the first distance;an electronic article surveillance sensor mounted on the first side panel such that the sensor is not visible when the package is fully loaded with batteries, the sensor being positioned between the first panel and the second panel;a sheet of paperboard material interposed between the first side panel and the batteries within the box, the sheet serving to enforce non-engagement between the sensor and the batteries, to thereby allow the surveillance sensor to properly function.
