ABSTRACT:
Assemblable display unit including integrated pallets. The display unit includes a tray configured to accommodate and receive goods and a plurality of integrated foot structures generally extending downwardly away from the periphery of the tray and supporting the tray. The foot structures are horizontally spaced from each other, defining at least one pallet aperture or channel sized to receive a loading finger. The size of the aperture varies depending upon the equipment to be used in lifting and transporting the display, whether it be a forklift, pallet jack or handcart. The display can be sized depending on the merchandise to be displayed, and thus the foot structures may define more than one opening to allow better ease of transport. The foot structures include only non-vertically-oriented raw edges to prevent water wicking.
The display units is formed from blanks of a foldable sheet material, such as double-faced corrugated fiberboard. The blanks include one tray panel, one or more sidewall-forming panels and one or more foot sections. When the blanks are folded, the sidewall-forming panels form generally vertical outer walls, and the foot sections fold to form the foot structures. Additional blanks can be folded and interconnected to form support lattices that are placed inside of the foot structures.
