Abstract
A robust, stackable container for shipping goods and for displaying and dispensing the goods at the point of purchase is disclosed. The container has a pull-out panel comprising a portion of a side wall panel which is manually openable to display and dispense the goods. The pull-out panel is defined by a separation line in the wall panel formed by a plurality of perforations and is hingedly attached to the container. Wing flaps located on each end of the pull-out panel extend between the pull-out panel and the container providing side partitions preventing the goods from spilling out of the container when opened. The container wall panels are reinforced with reverse folded reinforcing flaps which strengthen the container to prevent crushing and bursting when stacked. The container is formed from die cut blanks into a knockdown state which can be assembled into the container and filled by automated processes.
