Abstract

A combination shipping and display container includes a container provided with a removable cover for covering an opening in the container. A frame is located within the container. The frame is preferably provided with a hanger member suitable for supporting product. The hanger member of the frame is proximate the opening for providing access to the hanging product when the removable cover is removed. The invention allows for product to be located on the hanger member of the frame and then sealed within the container. The loaded container may then be shipped to a destination, where the removable cover may be removed to provide consumer access to the product loaded on the hanger member. The container of the invention eliminates a necessity for employees of a store to organize product for display once the product arrives in the store.

Tightly packed merchandise within such containers tends to maintain an orderly appearance and is therefore attractive for consumer purchase. Other products, however, tend to become disorderly during shipping and...
