Abstract
Abstract A shipping and display container for fresh products such as asparagus. This container is provided with a box body having an open front so that when the container is opened the top and front of the product is visible for inspection. A cover that closes not only the top of the box body but also the front is provided to the container. Suitable small side panels and a small bottom panel are provided to the front so that the cover may be attached thereto by means such as staples, adhesive or the like. The entire container is formed out of a single substantially rectangular blank of which the longitudinal side portions are scored and cut so as to form double thickness side walls of increased strength for both the box body and the cover while the central portions of the blank are scored along predetermined lines to form the bottom, rear wall, top and front wall of the container.
