ABSTRACT:
Wraparound style packaging and shipping containers are provided, having structures configured for facilitating the conversion of the shipping containers into dispensing or all-around display containers. The shipping containers are preferably fabricated from an outer blank having a centrally positioned bottom wall, with front and rear walls emanating from front and rear edges of the bottom wall, respectively. Inner reinforcement panels may be provided for one or more of the end panels. The containers may incorporate lids formed from separate blanks, or lids formed from integral top panels of the wraparound blanks. Side flaps emanate from the bottom wall, the front and rear walls, and the top panels (if present), to provide at least partial coverage of the sides of the container. In several embodiments, separable structures are located in at least one of the front and rear walls, and/or the side flaps, to enable greater or lesser portions of the upper structure of the container to be removed, for permitting varying degrees of access to the interior of the container. An interior divider structure may be provided, for structural stacking support both during shipping and display modes.
