ABSTRACT:
A foldable display box is made from a blank so that it may be shipped flat and assembled at its point of use. The blank includes a back panel, a bottom panel and a front panel hinged together along two fold lines. A pair of side panels extends from opposite edges of the front panel. The side panels each carry a flange which extends normal to the major plane of the sides and a pair of hook-shaped detent projections face the flange. Openings are formed in the back panel which receive the detent projection. The back panel is thus captured between the flange and the detent projection, holding the display box firmly assembled. An easel panel is formed to fold out of the back and bottom panels to support the display stand on a flat surface. The easel panel is divided into two portions by a hinge or fold line, with one portion forming an upstanding leg and the other portion being connectable to the bottom of the back panel. When in the folded out position the easel panel together with the back panel forms a triangular support to stabilize the assembled display box on a flat surface. The fold line in the easel panel is positioned coincident with the fold line which connects the back panel and bottom panel so that if the easel panel is not used, the box may still be readily assembled. The display box is formed of a rigid injection molded and preferably clear plastic material.
