At least one support wall is spaced between the rear walls and extends upward from the bottom wall to define a plurality of article carrying rows. A plurality of openings are positioned in the front, rear or support walls adjacent to the bottom wall for receiving projections of articles to be carried in the display tray and retaining the articles in the article carrying rows. In one embodiment, a bottom wall flap member overlies the bottom wall and is folded to form at least one support wall spaced between front and rear walls and extending upward from the bottom wall to form a plurality of article carrying rows. The bottom wall flap member includes front and rear upward extending flap wall members positioned adjacent the interior of respective front and rear walls of the tray body. The front and rear flap wall members and the support walls include a plurality of openings adjacent the bottom wall and dimensioned for receiving projections of articles to be carried in the display tray and retaining the articles in the article carrying rows.
A display tray comprising a tray body having a bottom wall, opposing front and rear walls and an open top, at least one support wall spaced between front and rear walls forming a plurality of article carrying rows and extending upward from the bottom wall to define a plurality of article carrying rows, and a plurality of openings positioned in the front, rear and support walls adjacent the bottom wall for receiving projections of articles to be carried in the display tray and retaining the articles in the article carrying rows wherein said rear wall is substantially equal to the height of the articles to be carried within the display tray and substantially higher than the front wall.
A display tray comprising a tray body having a bottom wall, opposing front and rear walls and an open top, a bottom wall flap member overlying said bottom wall, said bottom wall flap member being folded to form at least one support wall spaced between said front and rear walls and extending upward from the bottom wall to form a plurality of article carrying rows, said bottom wall flap member including front and rear upward extending flap wall members positioned adjacent the interior of respective front and rear walls of the tray body, said front and rear flap wall members and said support wall each including a plurality of openings adjacent the bottom wall and dimensioned for receiving projections of articles to be carried in the display tray and retaining the articles in the article carrying rows;
A blank for forming a display tray comprising a rectangular blank having opposing side flap portions extending form the blank for folding upward and forming sidewalls, said blank including a front wall fold line defining a front wall flap portion for folding upward and forming a front wall portion, a rear wall fold line spaced from the front wall fold line and substantially parallel thereto and defining a bottom wall portion between the front wall and rear wall fold lines and a rear wall flap member portion, said rear wall flap member portion including a plurality of horizontally extending fold lines defining both an interior rear wall portion for folding over the interior of the rear wall, and a bottom wall flap member for overlying the bottom wall, said bottom wall flap member including a plurality of substantially parallel fold lines positioned on said bottom wall flap member for folding upon themselves to form a plurality of article carrying rows overlying the bottom wall portion, each of said opposing side flap portions includes a diagonal fold line for allowing folding of the side flap portion over upon itself to form a side wall multi-layer panel thickness which is tapered downward from the rear wall to the front wall when the display tray is erected, a plurality of spaced openings formed along some of the fold lines and being aligned with each other so that when the interior bottom wall flap member is folded and overlies the bottom wall, and a plurality of article carrying rows are formed when said display tray is erected for receiving articles having projections wherein the projections on the articles to be carried are received within said openings.
