Abstract
A product display system and method includes a support, at least one illumination source positioned above the support and operable to illuminate the support area, and at least one product package positioned on and/or supported by the support. The packages are tilted such that the front faces of the tilted packages face at least partially toward the illumination source to provide enhanced illumination of the front faces of the tilted packages. The packages may have at least one tab that angles or tilts the package relative to the support such that the package is tilted toward the illumination source. The tilted packages may be supported at a generally horizontal support surface or at a support arm or the like.
Claims65
A method of displaying product packages at a store, said method comprising:
- providing at least one generally horizontal support;
- providing at least one illumination source above said generally horizontal support and operable to illuminate said support;
- positioning a plurality of tilted product packages on said support, said tilted packages having a front face;
- positioning a plurality of non-tilted product packages on said support at or near said tilted packages, said non-tilted packages being generally vertically oriented or non-tilted, such that a front face of each of said non-tilted packages is generally vertical;
- and
- arranging said plurality of tilted packages and non-tilted packages on said support such that said tilted packages are tilted such that a front face of at least some of said tilted packages faces at least partially upward and toward said illumination source to provide enhanced illumination of said front face of said tilted packages, whereby said at least one illumination source provides enhanced illumination of said front faces of said tilted packages as compared to the illumination of said front faces of said non-tilted packages.
A product package for containing a product, said package being positioned on a generally horizontal support arm in a store, said product package comprising:
- a product containing portion and a header portion, said header portion having an aperture formed therethrough;
- and
- a tab at said aperture, said tab being configured to engage a support arm inserted through said aperture to bias said package toward a tilted orientation when said aperture receives said support arm such that said package is supported by a generally horizontal support arm in a tilted or non-vertical manner.
A product display system for displaying product packages, said product display system comprising:
- at least one support arm extending outwardly from a generally vertical support;
- at least one illumination source positioned above said at least one support arm and operable to illuminate said support arm;
- at least one tilted product package positioned on said support arm, said tilted package comprising a product containing portion, a header portion, and an aperture formed through said header portion, said tilted product package being supported by said support arm via said support arm inserting through said aperture;
- and
- wherein said tilted package comprises a tab at said aperture, said tab being configured to engage said support arm when said support aim is inserted through said aperture to bias said tilted package toward a tilted orientation, said tilted package being tilted such that a front face of said tilted package faces at least partially upward and toward said at least one illumination source when supported by said support arm whereby said at least one illumination source provides enhanced illumination of said front face of said tilted package.
A method of displaying product packages at a store, said method comprising:
- providing a plurality of support arms extending from a generally vertical support;
- providing at least one illumination source above said support arms and operable to illuminate said support arms;
- providing a plurality of tilted product packages, said tilted packages comprising a front face, a header portion and an aperture through said header portion, said tilted packages having a tab at said aperture;
- positioning said plurality of tilted packages at said support arms via inserting a support arm through said aperture of at least one respective tilted package;
- and
- said tabs of said tilted packages engaging respective ones of said support arms and biasing said tilted packages relative to said support arms such that a front face of at least some of said tilted packages faces at least partially upward and toward said illumination source to provide enhanced illumination of said front faces of said tilted packages.
