Thank you, everyone very much for your help.
Since I need these for screenshots, not to actually work, I came up with an alternative idea that I may try first. This is something akin to the Hollywood trick of substituting mashed potatoes for ice cream, since ice cream melts and mashed potatoes don't.
In this case, I think I'll just put the package contents inside of a standard folder, copy the package icon from a package to this folder, and take my screen shots. With the package icon applied to the normal folder and if I name it xyz.pkg.nnn and tell finder to hide the suffix, it should look like a package for the screen shot.
If that doesn't work, I'll use the great suggestions you guys made for doing it with a command line.
Best Wishes,
Paul
