Abstract
A display system includes a tray portion configured to hold and display product and a display header which is movably coupled to the tray portion. The display header includes a header board connected to a header mount via a rigid stem. The display header is movable from a retracted shipping position to an extended display position. An actuator movably couples the header mount and the stem to a wall of the tray portion by applying a biasing force which automatically pivots the header mount and stem to an upright position thereby placing the display header into the extended display position.
