Abstract
A beverage bottle package display system is disclosed. The display system includes a base unit, a plurality of shelves and a shelf holder. The base unit and each shelf have a horizontally extending rib and two vertically extending ribs on their top sides. Each horizontal rib intersects two vertical ribs to form six rectangular compartments on the top side of the base unit and each shelf. Each compartment is define to accept one package of twelve 12-ounce beverage bottles or two packages of six 12-ounce beverage bottles. The display is built by placing any combination of 12-bottle packages or two 6-bottle packages in the base unit compartments. A first shelf is then placed on top of the packages in the base unit, and the first shelf compartments are filled with 12-bottle and/or two 6-bottle packages. Successive shelves of 12-bottle or 6-bottle packages may be added to the display system in the same manner. The ribs on the top sides of the base unit and shelves, along with skirts provided around the perimeters of the base unit and shelves, restrain the packages within the compartments from shifting. Ridges are also provided on the underside of each shelf to provide an additional restraint against the tops of the packages in the base unit or shelf compartments immediately below. The shelf holder is provided to store empty trays as the packages are removed from the display. A plurality of corrugation grooves in the floor of the shelf holder maintain the empty trays in a vertically upright position so they do not fall over.
