Abstract

The present invention is directed to an open-top container for shipping and displaying products which comprises a plurality of side walls and end walls. Bottom wall flaps are foldably joined to bottom edges of the side walls and end walls and are folded inwardly therefrom into overlapping relationship with one another to form a bottom wall closure. A respective plurality of beams foldably joined to upper edges of the respective plurality of side walls and end walls. Each of the plurality of the beams is defined by a shoulder panel and three folding flaps foldably joined to one another. A bumper sticker panel is foldably joined to upper edge of one of the plurality of side walls forming a partial top closure when the open-top container is in the shipping position and partially prevents products from falling out when the open-top container is in the displaying position.
