Abstract: A shipping container formed from three blanks of sheet material (e.g., corrugated fiberboard) is convertible between a full-wall shipping mode and a partial-wall shipping/display mode. A first blank forms a wrap-style tray and the other two form identical convertible sidewall/divider components secured within the tray. In the shipping mode, the convertible sidewall/divider components form opposing sidewall portions of the container covering (preferably completely) the container sides between end walls of the tray. In this mode, the container is well suited for the shipment of empty plastic bottles and like contents to a product manufacturer who will fill the bottles with flowable (e.g., liquid) product and repack them after converting the container to the shipping/display mode. By pressing inwardly on a main panel of each convertible sidewall/divider component, a pivot action of doubled-back pivot panels attaching the main panel to the end walls of the tray converts the container to the shipping/display mode.
