ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to containers, and more particularly to shipping and point of sale display containers.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Containerboard and paperboard containers are created for a great variety of purposes. For example, containers are used for storing, packaging, shipping and displaying products of practically any nature. Generally, a container is chosen to satisfy only a single particular need such as crushing strength for a shipping container or ornamental value for a display container, but not both.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a blank and container that may be used for packaging, shipping and displaying products. The container may be used as a single unit or may be separated into two substantially identical display units. A removable H-divider is disposed within the container to separate the single container into two separate display units and to provide additional structural support. Like the container, the H-divider is separable, wherein individual sections of the H-divider remain with each display unit to provide structural or other support to each display unit. Additionally, a closure panel may be inserted as a top closure for the container.
At the point of use the container can be displayed in a variety of ways. The container may be displayed vertically, horizontally or folded along the detachable hinge line to display the display units in a back-to-back relationship. Additionally, the container may be separated along the detachable hinge line wherein the display units may be used in a side-by-side, stacked or individual configuration.
