ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a merchandiser having panels which can be used as both a shroud and a header display.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A typical merchandiser, which may be made from corrugated board, comprises a series of parts which interlock with one another. Often times, these parts are sold in an unassembled form to later be put together and loaded with product at a point of sale location. In some instances, the merchandiser may already be assembled, loaded with stock and then shipped to a point of sale location. Under these circumstances, the merchandiser is protected by a covering shroud which is removed and discarded at the final destination. A separate header display is then added to the merchandiser. In some cases, the header display is shipped separately from the merchandiser resulting in situations where the header display is not used because it is either lost or is simply not available when the display is set up and not later added.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a merchandiser having at least one panel which act as a protective shroud during shipping of the merchandiser and which later acts as a header at the point of sale for the merchandiser. This panel remains at all times attached directly to, rather than being separate from, the merchandiser thereby avoiding the problems encountered with previous merchandisers.
More particularly, the present invention provides a merchandiser having an attached panel which is foldable between a downwardly extending shroud forming position and between a downwardly extending shroud forming position and a header position extending upwardly away from the shroud forming position.
