A portable display container comprising:
- a) a plurality of display tiers in a stack, each display tier comprising:
- i) a base tray comprising (A) a bottom panel, (B) two side panels, each side panel foldably attached to the bottom panel at an angle of about 90° relative to the bottom panel, (C) two end panels, each of the end panels foldably attached to the bottom panel at an angle of about 90° relative to the bottom panel, and (D) two pairs of end panel extensions, each pair of the end panel extensions foldably attached to one of the two end panels and attached to the two side panels to form corners;
- ii) at least one spine, each spine comprising (A) two spine flaps, each spine flap foldably attached to a spine ridge at an angle of about 90° relative to the spine ridge and having at least two spine slots, wherein the two spine flaps and the spine ridge remain rigid when the display tier is loaded with product and stacked, (B) two pairs of spine extensions, each pair of spine extensions (1) foldably attached to one of the two spine flaps at an angle of about 90° relative to the spine flap to which it is attached, (2) separated from the other pair by about a width of the spine ridge, and (3) configured to contact and/or attach to the two end panels;
- iii) two or more cross supports, each cross support comprising (A) two cross support flaps foldably attached to a cross support ridge at an angle of about 90° relative to the cross support ridge and having at least one cross support slot configured such that the cross support slot(s) mate with the at least one spine at one of the spine slots, wherein the two cross support flaps and the cross support ridge remain rigid when the display tier is loaded and stacked, and (B) two pairs of cross support extensions, each pair of cross support extensions (1) foldably attached to one of the cross support flaps an angle of about 90° relative to the cross support flap, separated from the other pair by about a width of the cross support ridge, and (3) configured to contact and/or attach to the side panels;
- and
- b) a portable platform
- wherein the base tray of each display tier rests on or is in contact with the portable platform or another display tier of the stack.
