Container assembly with promotional panels and associated methods for making the same

A promotional kit for a foldable container comprising a ventilated bottom panel, a pair of spaced apart ventilated side panels rotatably coupled to the ventilated bottom panel, and a pair of spaced apart ventilated end panels rotatably coupled to the ventilated bottom panel, the foldable container configurable between a collapsed configuration when the pairs of spaced apart ventilated side panels and ventilated end panels are folded toward the ventilated bottom panel, and an open configuration when the pairs of spaced apart ventilated side panels and ventilated end panels are folded away from the ventilated bottom panel so that adjacent edges thereof engage one another so as to lock together, the promotional kit comprising:

• a pair of solid side panels to be removably coupled to the pair of spaced apart ventilated side panels when the foldable container is in the open configuration, each solid side panel comprising
• a top lip extending across an upper edge of a respective ventilated side panel,
• at least one top clip carried by said top lip and extending downwardly therefrom so as to be secured to the respective ventilated side panel, and
• at least one medial clip to slidably engage at least one medial ventilated opening in the respective ventilated side panel;
• and
• a pair of solid end panels to be removably coupled to the pair of spaced apart ventilated end panels when the foldable container is in the open configuration, each solid end panel comprising
• a top lip extending across an upper edge of a respective ventilated end panel,
• at least one top clip carried by said top lip and extending downwardly therefrom so as to be secured to the respective ventilated end panel, and
• at least one medial clip to slidably engage at least one medial ventilated opening in the respective ventilated end panel.

A method for making a container assembly comprising:

• providing a foldable container comprising a ventilated bottom panel, a pair of spaced apart ventilated side panels rotatably coupled to the ventilated bottom panel, and a pair of spaced apart ventilated end panels rotatably coupled to the ventilated bottom panel;
• the foldable container configurable between a collapsed configuration when the pairs of spaced apart ventilated side panels and ventilated end panels are folded toward the ventilated bottom panel, and an open configuration when the pairs of spaced apart ventilated side panels and ventilated end panels are folded away from the ventilated bottom panel so that adjacent edges thereof engage one another so as to lock together;
• providing a pair of solid side panels removably coupled to the pair of spaced apart ventilated side panels when the foldable container is in the open configuration, each solid side panel comprising
• a top lip extending across an upper edge of a respective ventilated side panel,
• at least one top clip carried by the top lip and extending downwardly therefrom so as to be secured to the respective ventilated side panel, and
• at least one medial clip to slidably engage at least one medial ventilated opening in the respective ventilated side panel;
• and
• providing a pair of solid end panels removably coupled to the pair of spaced apart ventilated end panels when the foldable container is in the open configuration, each solid end panel comprising
• a top lip extending across an upper edge of a respective ventilated end panel,
• at least one top clip carried by the top lip and extending downwardly therefrom so as to be secured to the respective ventilated end panel, and
• at least one medial clip to slidably engage at least one medial ventilated opening in the respective ventilated end panel.
