Low scrap tray
A low scrap tray is constructed from a single sheet of material to act as a retail display tray, reducing the waste from traditional container construction processes. The low scrap tray includes a bottom panel, a front panel, a rear panel, a left panel, a right panel, a left inward rim, a right inward rim, a front-left flap assembly, a front-right flap assembly, a rear-left flap assembly, a rear-right flap assembly, a front opening, and a top opening. The front panel, the rear panel, the left panel, the right panel, the front opening, the left inward rim, the right inward rim and the top opening define a storage space when the low scrap tray is operatively configured. The front-left flap assembly, the front-right flap assembly, the rear-left flap assembly, and the rear-right flap assembly secure the positioning of front panel, the rear panel, the left panel, and the right panel.
