Shipping and display container
Techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a container including a plurality of panels and a plurality of flaps integrally formed in a blank. The plurality of panels includes a front panel, a top panel adjacent the front panel, a back panel adjacent the top panel, a bottom panel adjacent the back panel, and a support panel adjacent the bottom panel, wherein adjacent panels are connected with one another. The plurality of flaps are configured to cooperate with each other to enclose the container at its ends. A first line of weakness is formed in the front and top panels and defines a first severable portion of the container. A second line of weakness is formed in the support panel and defines a second severable portion of the container, the support panel being fixedly attached to the front panel such that the first and second severable portions are generally aligned.
