Abstract
The present invention provides a fold flat assembly capable of being erected into a display hutch having a shell and a tray assembly attached to an inner surface of the shell. The shell has opposed side walls spaced from one another and each having a front edge and a rear edge. A back panel connects the rear edges and a plurality slats connect portions of the front edges of the opposing side walls and are spaced from one another defining gaps between adjacent slats. The shell is moveable between a flat position and an erect position. The tray assembly has a peripheral wall and a bottom wall. The peripheral wall is connected to the back panel, the opposed side walls and one of the slats of the plurality of slats. The bottom wall is connected by a first hinge to a segment of the peripheral wall. The tray assembly folds flat within the shell and a portion of the bottom wall extends into one of the gaps when the shell is in the flat position, and the bottom wall forms a shelf, spanning from the one slat to the back panel, when the shell is in the erect position.
