ABSTRACT:
A box is useful for both shipping and displaying products for selection, especially elongated products such as brooms and mops. For shipping, the box is a full rectangular enclosure. For display, top and front panels can be removed or folded back to enable viewing and access to the products. Opposing panels define side walls and a back wall, and are joined by a bottom panel to define a partial enclosure, e.g., of the same height as the product. A lower front panel bridges between the side panels, and is vertically much shorter, e.g., attached to the side walls and the bottom at the front and extending only a short distance vertically. The remainder of the front of the box is open, except for a reinforced support piece bridging across the front of the box to the side walls. The support piece resists compression and can be made of one or more of wood, plastic, metal or thick, layered cardboard or corrugated craft. The support piece can be constructed as folded-up segments of a front box panel. The support piece prevents the display box from deforming or spilling product being spaced from the top to confine products that tilt forwardly. A product is removed by simply lifting the bottom edge over the lower front panel, thereby raising the top of the product above the open top, and pulling the product from the bottom end forwardly.
