The container includes a first tear seam along a lower portion of the front panel, which extends upward at an angle across side flaps attached to the front panel. A cut-out handle is formed in the front panel along the first tear seam. The tear seam respectively terminates at opposite ends along the side flaps with a relief cut. A second tear seam is formed at a fold line between the top panel and back panel, which permits the top panel, a portion of the front panel, and portions of front side flaps to be removed for forming a display case.
