Display shelf and method of making the same

A display shelf comprising:

• a backing panel having upper and lower opposite sides;
• a plurality of elongate parallel tracks arranged side by side along said lower side of said backing panel, each of said tracks being adapted to support a row of articles such that said articles in said row are suspended from said each track for movement along said each track, said backing panel and said tracks being molded together as a unitary structure, said each track comprising a pair of opposed side walls extending along said each track and joined along upper edges thereof to said backing panel, and a pair of parallel rails joined to said side walls along lower edges thereof so as to engage top portions of said articles;
• and
• a plurality of transverse ribs formed integrally with said backing panel and disposed along said backing panel transversely of said tracks, each of said transverse ribs extending between adjacent ones of said tracks,
• wherein said each transverse rib comprises a pair of transversely extending opposed side walls interconnected by a base wall so that a hollow is defined within said each transverse rib by said side and base walls of said each transverse rib.
