ABSTRACT:
A shelf organizer having a plurality of parallel vertical slots, each slightly wider than the thickness of each item of merchandise to be displayed, the slots being disposed at an acute angle to the back of the shelf. When videotape cartons are displayed, the depth of each of the slots may be one-quarter to one-third the width of one carton and the height of each of the slots may be about one-half the height of one carton. One preferred embodiment allows a shelf loading increase of over 50%, while over 80% of the graphics on the face of each carton remain easily viewed. Also, this arrangement displays the title on one side edge of each carton. The organizer is preferably constructed of a light, rigid material, such as expanded polystyrene, which can be easily cut to length and which can be simply installed in new or existing shelving through the use of adhesive strips.
