ABSTRACT:
A convertible shipping/display carton, having a receptacle portion defined by a bottom, a front wall, a rear wall, a pair of opposed side walls, and a display panel extending vertically from the rear wall includes an extension section joined to the display panel. The extension section includes an extension section fold line adjacent and parallel to its juncture with the display panel, whereby the extension section is foldable along the extension section fold line between a first position in which it extends substantially vertically from the display panel, and a second position in which it extends substantially horizontally to overly the receptacle portion. A method of packaging articles of merchandise using this carton includes the steps of placing a plurality of articles of merchandise in the receptacle portion while the extension section is in its substantially vertical position; folding the extension section along the extension section fold line to its substantially horizontal position; placing an open-bottomed HSC carton over the shipping/display carton; and securing the HSC carton to the bottom of the shipping/display carton. Alternatively, two or more shipping/display cartons can be vertically stacked after being loaded with merchandise having their extension sections folded horizontally. The stack is then enclosed in an HSC carton, which is secured to the bottom-most shipping/display carton.
