Abstract
Abstract An open topped tray is provided having a double thickness rear wall. A portion of the outer layer of paperboard is cut to provide a display panel hinged to the remainder of this layer along a fold line spaced from the top of the rear wall. Ears are provided integral with the display panel and which, upon pivotal movement of the display panel, temporarily flex the layers apart. These ears hold the display panel either in the plane of the outer layer, or projecting above the top of the rear wall.
