Abstract
A container for displaying and transporting a heavy product, such as a vanity top, that is fabricated and assembled as an integral unit to secure the product against possible damage while permitting the product to be easily transported and viewed by prospective purchasers. The container includes back, top, bottom and a pair of side wall panels. Each of the side wall panels has an elongated central flap section formed along an outer edge of the side wall panel which is hinged and folded inwardly to define a generally front-facing double fold front surface for the container slanted in a front and back direction and elongated in a direction generally transverse to the top and bottom wall panels for supporting a product in a slanted orientation opposite an elongated underside edge of the product. Additionally, each of the side wall panels has an upper end flap hinged along an upper edge of the side wall panel, the end flap is at least in part folded inwardly in spaced generally parallel relation to the side wall panel, defining a surface extending generally transverse to the top and bottom wall panels to block movement of the product toward the back panel.
