Container having multiple display configurations and method for forming same

A blank for forming a container, the blank comprising:

• a top panel, a first side panel, a bottom panel, and a second side panel coupled together in series by a plurality of generally parallel fold lines, wherein the bottom panel includes a free side edge, the first side panel includes a first separation line extending from proximate the free side edge and across at least a portion of the first side panel, and the second side panel includes a second separation line extending from proximate the free side edge and across at least a portion of the second side panel;
• a first end flap and a second end flap extending from opposing side edges of the first side panel;
• and
• a third end flap and a fourth end flap extending from opposing side edges of the second side panel, wherein the second and fourth end flaps are configured for removal with the top panel after the container is formed and the first and second separation lines are separated,
• wherein all perimeter edges of the top panel, the first side panel, the bottom panel, and the second side panel are substantially devoid of separation lines.

A container formed from a blank, the container comprising:

• opposing top and bottom walls, the bottom wall including a free side edge;
• opposing first and second side walls perpendicular to the opposing top and bottom walls, the first and second side walls including respective opposing first and second side edges, wherein the first side wall further includes a first separation line extending from proximate the free side edge and across at least a portion of the first side wall, and the second side wall further includes a second separation line extending from proximate the free side edge and across at least a portion of the second side wall;
• and
• opposing first and second end walls perpendicular to the opposing top and bottom walls and perpendicular to the opposing first and second walls, wherein:
• the second end wall includes a first end flap emanating from the first side edge of the first side wall and a third end flap emanating from the first side edge of the second side wall,
• the first end wall includes a second end flap emanating from the second side edge of the first side wall and a fourth end flap emanating from the second side edge of the second side wall, and
• the first end wall is removable with the top wall after the first and second separation lines are separated,
• wherein said free side edge of the bottom wall extends the entire distance between, and abuts, said opposing first and second side walls.
