A product display, comprising:
- a product support structure;
- and
- a flip-up display header movably and integrally coupled to the product support structure, wherein the display header is automatically movable with respect to the product support structure from a retracted shipping position to an extended display position, wherein the product support structure is a tray, wherein the tray is configured to support one or more products in a product-storage region for display in a retail location, wherein the display header includes a product indicia display area on a front side of display header for displaying product indicia related products stored in the tray when the display header is located in the extended display position, wherein the product display is sized to fit on a shelf or a counter-top, wherein the tray includes a front wall, a back wall spaced apart from and parallel to the front wall, a left side wall, a right side wall spaced apart from and parallel to the left side wall, and a floor that extends between bottom ends of each wall, wherein the walls and floor define the product-storage region, wherein the display header includes a header board and a stem rigidly coupled to a bottom end of the header board, wherein the bottom end of the header board and a top end of the stem are movably coupled to a top end of the back wall of tray, wherein the bottom end of header board is integrally coupled to the top end of the back wall of tray along a fold line that forms a pivotable hinge having a pivot axis that extends along the fold line such that the header board and the stem of the display header are movably coupled to the top end of the back wall of tray for conjoint pivotal movement about the pivot axis, further comprising an actuator resiliently and movably coupling the stein of the display header to a bottom end of the back wall of the tray, wherein the actuator is an elastic member, wherein the elastic member includes an elastic cord having barbs attached to opposing ends thereof for securing the elastic member to the tray, wherein the biasing force applied to the stem of the display header by the elastic member automatically conjointly pivots the header board and the stem of the display header about the pivot axis to the upright extended display position.
A blank configured to form a product display comprising:
- a product support structure;
- and
- a flip-up display header movably and integrally coupled to the product support structure, wherein the display header is automatically movable with respect to the product support structure from a retracted shipping position to an extended display position, wherein the blank includes a tray blank portion for forming the product support structure, the tray blank portion including:
- a rectangular floor panel;
- a left side wall panel coupled to the floor panel along a first fold line;
- a left flap coupled to the left side wall panel along a second fold line, the left flap including an outer free edge having spaced apart outwardly extending left locking tabs;
- a left front flap coupled to a front edge of the left side wall panel along a third fold line that is perpendicular to the first fold line;
- a right side wall panel coupled to the floor panel along a fourth fold line, wherein the fourth fold line is parallel to the first fold line;
- a right flap coupled to the right side wall panel along a fifth fold line, the right flap including an outer free edge having spaced apart outwardly extending right locking tabs;
- a right front flap coupled to a front edge of the right side wall panel along a sixth fold line that is perpendicular to the fourth fold line and is colinear with the third fold line;
- a rectangular front wall panel coupled to a front end of the floor panel along a seventh fold line that is parallel to and colinear with the third fold line and the sixth fold line;
- a rectangular front flap coupled to an outer end of the front wall panel by an eighth fold line that is spaced apart from and parallel to the seventh fold line, wherein the front flap includes an outer free edge having spaced apart outwardly extending front locking tabs;
- a plurality of left spaced apart elongate slots extending along and adjacent to the first fold line and configured to receive the left locking tabs, a plurality of right spaced apart elongate slots extending along and adjacent to the fourth fold line and configured to receive the right locking tabs, a plurality of front spaced apart elongate slots that extend along and adjacent to the seventh fold line and configured to receive the front locking tabs,
- a rectangular rear wall panel coupled at a bottom end thereof to a rear end of the floor panel along a ninth fold line that is perpendicular to the first fold line and the fourth fold line, and parallel to the seventh fold line, wherein the rear wall panel includes a plurality of spaced apart apertures located adjacent the ninth fold line at the bottom end of the rear wall panel, each aperture including a notch adapted to receive and retain a respective end of one or more elastic members;
- a left rear flap coupled to a left edge of the rear wall panel along a tenth fold line that is perpendicular to the ninth fold line and parallel to the first fold line;
- and
- a right rear flap coupled to a right edge of the rear panel along an eleventh fold line that is perpendicular to the ninth fold line and is spaced apart from and parallel to the tenth fold line.
