Abstract: A tray made from cardboard sheet material comprising a rectangular base and a ring of side walls, including two opposed first side walls symmetric with respect to a transverse axes of the tray and two second walls, including a second rear wall and a second front wall of lesser height than the other walls.

Abstract: A box that has enhanced product package storing efficiency and that can display product packages stored inside. The box includes a box body and a cover that can open and close the upper surface opening of the box body. The box body has a front plate, a back plate, right and left side plate, a bottom plate that has a rectangular shape, and a storage space for a plurality of product packages arranged on both upper and lower levels by placing, on each product package that has been placed on the bottom plate, another product package. The front plate is capable of being tear-opened to form an opening that makes the stored product packages visible, and the opening is provided with a fall preventer that supports the front-most product package on the upper level and prevents it from falling from the opening.

Abstract: A point of purchase display structure (300) is described incorporating one or more shelves (132) for supporting items, wherein the display structure in a partially assembled configuration is a generally flat structure, and may be converted to a finished structure by movement of an inner slide (150) within an outer sleeve (100).

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a method of manufacturing containers such as shipping, display and display ready packaging, for example, and resulting containers and associated preassemblies and blanks are provided, which, when utilized, result in preassemblies that are more easily and quickly assembled into fully assembled containers. According to the invention, a primary flank is affixed to an auxiliary blank using adhesive applied to a second portion section of each of the plurality of divider sections included in the primary blank, such that, as the container is assembled, pressure on the auxiliary blank separates a first portion of each of the plurality of divider sections from second portion and carries each of the plurality of divider tabs to engage with corresponding lock slots of the first and/or second divider lock.

Abstract: An “accordion-like” product display container with a plurality of compartments is provided. The product display container has a collapsed configuration in which the panels are folded up and an expanded display configuration in which the panels form areas for holding product to be displayed. Each compartment in the plurality of compartments further comprises at least one rigidity flap, e.g., a pair of rigidity flaps. The rigidity flaps are deployed into a rigidifying position to stiffen the product display container are resist compression from the expanded display configuration to the collapsed configuration. The display container may be transitioned from the collapsed state to the rigid state solely by deploying the rigidity flaps. The rigidity flaps may be held in place by bottom panels of the compartments.

Abstract: A packaging assembly for both packaging and displaying a plurality of compact discs. The packaging assembly includes a support structure having tiered depressions formed into at least one row. Each depression in a row is sized to accept a compact disc and includes a retaining mechanism for selectively engaging a compact disc at each tier level. As a result, the support structure is capable of retaining multiple compact discs in each row, wherein each compact disc is retained at a different tier level. This enables the various compact discs to overlay over another without contacting one another. The tiered orientation also enables any one of the compact discs to be accessed without having to remove any other compact disc contained in the packaging assembly. The support structure itself is contained within a box, wherein the box has a forward surface that defines a large window.
