Abstract: A one-piece container having a top and bottom, front, back and end walls is configured for storing, shipping and displaying the container contents. A tear-out panel with multiple glued thicknesses spans a portion of adjacent walls, especially the front and adjacent top, and is removable to expose the contents. A reinforcing inside panel backs the tear-out area and also marginal areas around the tear-out panel in the front wall and top portion. The reinforcing panel can be a folded back extension from a top flap or laterally-inward extensions from column forming end wall structures. An outer ply of a portion of the tear-out panel may be removed prior to shipping, leaving the inside reinforcement panel to cover part of the opening, and simplifying tear-out. Containers incorporating this reinforced front and top panel display design can be either a unitary bottom construction, or a multi-piece folded bottom construction.

Abstract: A one-piece container having front, back and end walls is disclosed for use in storing, shipping and displaying the contents thereof. The front and back walls are reinforced in high stress areas, such as wall diagonals, by column members formed from panels that are integrally connected to the side and back walls. These column members thus remain tightly associated with the side and back walls and provide maximum strength and structural rigidity to the container. The column members are held in place by folding end wall panels that are integrally formed with the container bottom and which fold over the column members and lock into place with the bottom. The column members may be hollow geometric structures, or they may be flat sandwich structures formed from plural material layers. The container can be provided with registration tabs and corresponding openings to allow like containers to be stacked for storage or display.
