Abstract
A shelf-ready shipper display system having a tray portion, a hood portion, and one or more zones of weakness that enable the hood portion to be separated from the tray portion so that the shipper display system can be converted from a shipping configuration to a display configuration. In certain embodiments, the shipper display system is made from a single blank. In some embodiments, the shipper display system includes a reinforcement panel that is also capable of being separated from the tray portion as the shipper display system is converted from the shipping configuration and to the display configuration.

A display system for containing and displaying product comprising:
- (1) side panels, each side panel comprising a zone of weakness that extends at least partially across the side panel, the zone of weakness enabling separation of the side panel into an upper side panel and a lower side panel;
- (2) a tray portion, comprising a front panel and a bottom panel;
- (3) a hood portion, comprising a front panel and a top panel;
- (4) a reinforcement panel attached to the front panel of the hood portion;
- wherein, the display system is convertible from a shipping configuration to a display configuration and wherein when the display system is in the shipping configuration, the tray portion and the hood portion are joined along the one or more zones of weakness, and wherein, when the display system is in the display configuration, the hood portion is separated completely from the tray portion;
- wherein the display system is configured to be loaded with product at a first orientation and is configured to be rotated to a second orientation for conversion from the shipping configuration to the display configuration, the first orientation being oriented 90° from the second orientation;
- and
- wherein the display system is made from a single piece of paperboard.
A display system for containing and displaying product comprising:
- (1) side flaps, each side flap comprising a zone of weakness that extends at least partially across the side flap, the zone of weakness enabling separation of the side flap into an upper side flap and a lower side flap;
- (2) a tray portion, comprising a front panel and a bottom panel;
- (3) a hood portion, comprising a top panel;
- (4) a rear panel comprising a zone of weakness that extends at least partially across the rear panel, the zone of weakness enabling separation of the rear panel into an upper rear panel and a lower rear panel, the upper rear panel being associated with the hood portion and the lower rear panel being associated with the tray portion;
- (5) a reinforcement panel that is positioned with respect to the tray portion front panel;
- wherein, the display system is convertible from a shipping configuration to a display configuration and wherein when the display system is in the shipping configuration, the tray portion and the hood portion are joined along the one or more zones of weakness, and wherein, when the display system is in the display configuration, the hood portion is separated completely from the tray portion;
- and
- wherein the display system is made from a single piece of paperboard.
A display system for containing and displaying product comprising:
- (1) side panels, each side panel comprising a zone of weakness that extends at least partially across the side panel, the zone of weakness enabling separation of the side panel into an upper side panel and a lower side panel;
- (2) a tray portion, comprising a front panel and a bottom panel;
- (3) a hood portion, comprising a top panel;
- wherein, the display system is convertible from a shipping configuration to a display configuration and wherein when the display system is in the shipping configuration, the tray portion and the hood portion are joined along the one or more zones of weakness, and wherein, when the display system is in the display configuration, the hood portion is separated completely from the tray portion;
- and
- wherein the display system is made from a single piece of paperboard.
