A panel tray display system for improving storage capabilities beyond that of standard shelving has at least one tray support panel with vertically spaced lip troughs extending substantially continuously across the panel. The display system also has trays of a standardized, modular length that is chosen to allow a user to arrange two or more trays in a substantially side-to-side relationship on the display system. Each tray has a hanger member, a tray shelf and upturned front and side retaining rails. The hanger members are engaged in lip troughs so that the trays hang from the support panel. The trays may be repositioned vertically and horizontally on the panel as desired. The predetermined modular length of the trays is shorter than the length of traditional shelving and allows the user to maximize available storage space by adjusting the vertical distances between vertically adjacent short trays. The trays are thin, on the order of 1/16 inch, to further increase available storage space. The panel tray display system may form the basis of a prefabricated product storage and dispensing facility having a modular prefabricated enclosure. The enclosure may be assembled on site from w…
