A battery package has a thermoformed thermoplastic clam shell container with a lid which snaps closed on a battery containing body. The lid has peripheral skirt portions defining shoulders which face downwardly. A lower segment of a paperboard card is clasped between the lid and the body, with upper edges which engage with the shoulders of the container lid and support the container and batteries. A connecting segment extends from the lower segment and passes through a gap defined between the two shoulders to join a card upper segment having a hang hole which receives a display peg. Tape extends from the body onto the lid to close the package during display. After purchase, the tape is broken, the card is removed and discarded or recycled, and the lid is reclosable for battery storage. The lid may be hinged to the body along a side or along the bottom.
