The display 10 may be used, for example, for supporting boxes of chocolates, which can make the display 10 quite heavy, on the order of 40 to 50 pounds or more.

For example boxes of chocolates could be stacked on each of the shelves 20. The carton 16 has a rear wall 22 to which the adapter 18 is secured. The adapter 18, carton 16 and shelves 20 are all made out of foldable sheet materials, such as corrugated paperboard.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] Card racks such as are found in greeting card stores and drug stores display greeting cards in narrow tiers or rows of slots that slant from top to bottom so as to be able to display a large variety of greeting cards to the consumer. It is desirable to also display other products in the card aisle that may complement greeting cards, for example, chocolates to go along with Valentine's Day cards. However, greeting card racks are not well suited to displaying products other than cards as they are so specifically adapted to displaying cards. Unlike cards, boxes of c...
