Example

[0016]FIG. 1 illustrates a modular pallet display system 10 for shipping and displaying a series of retail products 12 in a mass merchandising environment. The packaging system 10 includes a plurality of display trays 14a-c for holding the products 12. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the display trays 14 are spaced from each other by an adequate height to allow the individual retail products 12 to be positioned in a desired orientation, such as the upright orientation shown in FIG. 1. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the entire pallet display system 10 is supported on a shipping pallet 16 that allows the pallet display system 10 filled with products 12 to be shipped in a known manner. As an example, the entire pallet display system 10 can be wrapped in an outer wrap to maintain the integrity of the pallet display system 10 and to protect the products 12 from dust and damage during shipment.

[0017]Alternatively, the pallet display system 10 can be shipped in a broken down condition and assembled a...

Abstract

A modular packaging and display system for shipping and displaying products. The modular packaging and display system includes multiple display trays supported by a series of V-shaped spacers. The modular packaging and display system includes a plurality of V-shaped support members positioned near the corners of each display tray to stabilize the packaging system. The spacers and the support members are preferably formed from paperboard. The modular packaging and display system is strong enough to support the weight of the products and the trays and withstand the weight of one or more units stacked thereupon.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present application is based on and claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 947,531 filed on Jul. 2, 2007.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present disclosure generally relates to a modular packaging and display system. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a system for packaging multiple products, including irregularly-shaped products, on a pallet to be shipped to a retailer, who then may display the products in the packaging in which they are shipped.[0003]Mass merchandising retailers, such as “club stores” often display their products on the pallet on which the products were shipped from the vendors. The products in their primary packages are arranged in multiple layers using a secondary packaging and display system. The primary purpose of the secondary packaging system is to contain and organize subgroups of the primary packaging, as well as to improve the stacking strength of the pallet...
