Abstract

A container apparatus for the packaging, storage and transportation of articles, in which the apparatus may be articulated from a substantially enclosed container configuration to a stackable point-of-purchase display configuration. When in the display configuration the cover of the apparatus acts to present the articles within the container at repeatedly stackable, acute angle--respective to a level surface, for the viewing of the articles. Additionally, when in the display configuration, the container apparatus may be vertically or horizontally stacked on another similarly configured container apparatus with stability and without entirely obscuring the presentation of the articles contained therein.
