An easel panel is formed to fold out of the back and bottom panels to support the display stand on a flat surface. The easel panel is divided into two portions by a hinge or fold line, with one portion forming an upstanding leg and the other portion being connectable to the bottom of the back panel. When in the folded out position the easel panel together with the back panel forms a triangular support to stabilize the assembled display box on a flat surface. The fold line in the easel panel is positioned coincident with the fold line which connects the back panel …
