Abstract

A stackable container is formed from a unitary continuous corrugated or sold fiberboard blank for storage of shipped goods. The stackable container includes a bottom portion, first and second opposing side panels, a back panel, and a front panel. The side panels and the back panel have corresponding rigid ledges along uppermost edges of the panels which are capable of supporting another similar or identical stackable container on top of this one. The side panels and the back panel are made from a corresponding pair of planar layers. The ledge corresponding to each panel is connected to and bridges between the corresponding pair of planar layers. The front panel has a display opening for viewing and accessing contents of the stackable container. The stackable container also includes a lid used during shipment of the container.
