Abstract
A shipping and display container is formed from an integral piece of corrugated board, paperboard, or the like. The container has a top which includes two opposing flaps allowing access to the contained space of the container for loading. The two flaps are adhered to each other at their opposing edges when the container is closed and sealed for shipping. The top may be removed from the container by separating the top from the sidewalls at perforation lines extending generally at the outer edges of the top. The front of the container has removable portions which are integrally attached to the top so that a pair of windows is formed when the container is opened by the end user's removal of the top together with the removable portions. Product is accessible through the two windows as well as through the top of the opened container. The container is folded and glued from an integral flat blank, and is erected from a collapsed parallelogram shape by moving together outer transverse edges. Reinforcing panels foldably connected to the side panels create double layer sides for the container. A partition is also integrally formed, preferably in three thicknesses, from panels foldably attached to the blank.
