Abstract: A foldable display unit having sections hingedly connected to a base wherein when the sections pivot inwardly toward the base, the sections and base fold into a self-contained portable shipping container. The unit includes a base, front section and top sections hingedly connected thereto. The top surface of the base is configured to nestingly receive the front and top sections when they are folded. The unit may also have side sections hingedly connected thereto. The side sections extend outwardly from the sides of the base in an unfolded state and pivot inwardly toward the sides of the base so that the sides are in face to face relation with the side surfaces of the base. Latching mechanisms secure the hingedly connected sections to the base when the unit is folded.
