The invention relates to a modular structure for a cardboard tower-like display, made up of shelf modules (a) each of which is made up of a cardboard sheet with a four-sided central area (10) whose corners form incoming vertexes (12) and whose sides are folding and flapping lines with respective flaps thereof; together with straight tubes which feature stud modules (b), with the same cross section than the perimeter tubular edges (11) of each shelf module (a), and connecting elements in the shape of corner studs (c), each of which has a central part (30) with arms (31), (32) and (33) projected into three orthogonal spatial directions which fit into the concurrent ends of the tubular edges (11) of each shelf module (a), and the ends corresponding to the tubes which constitute the stud modules (b).

A balloon display structure and method of use. The display structure includes a base member and an upstanding member with the upstanding member having a plurality of sides with elongate apertures therein. The elongate apertures are arranged to receive sticks bearing air-filled balloons.

A tray and corner post type packaging system for shipping and displaying palletized products is provided. The packaging system is made from three folded and glued blanks and includes four corner posts and a central support.

Paper-based elongate structures suitable for use as lumber substitutes, articles of manufacture made thereof, kits of materials including such structures, and machines and methods for making the same. Elongate structures according to the invention include a hollow outer portion formed of corrugated fiberboard sheet material and an accordion-folded inner support formed of corrugated fiberboard sheet material. The hollow outer portion has four outer surfaces that define a rectangle when viewed in cross-section transverse to a longitudinal axis of the elongate structure. The accordion-folded inner support is enclosed within the hollow outer portion. The inner support includes a plurality of first spaced-apart peaks that contact a first inner surface of the hollow outer portion and a plurality of second spaced-apart peaks that contact an opposing second inner surface of the hollow outer portion. The accordion-folded inner support structure improves the beam strength, crush resistance and lateral strength of the elongate structure.

A display system comprises one or more display elements in the form of hollow geometrically shaped pillars that can be easily assembled, disassembled, and stored. Each display element is comprised of a plurality of side panels that are removably interconnected in an overlapping manner to themselves and a base. Each side panel has a dense arrangement of mounting apertures formed in at least a portion thereof configured to receive and provide support for mounting hardware to which signage and other elements can be connected. Multiple display elements can be ganged together by themselves or with removably shelving to allow for construction of a wide variety of presentation spaces and structures.

The present invention provides a hutch having a pair of opposed sidewalls and a back wall and a shelf having a first planar surface extending between the sidewalls supported by four support panels each having a second planar surface transverse to the first planar surface.

An adjustable end cap display that is configured to be used in a variety of retail environments. Specifically, the width of the disclosed end cap display is adjustable, which allows a single end cap display to be used in retail environments having different size requirements and space constraints. In one non-limiting embodiment, the rear of the end cap display includes a plurality of series of slots or other apertures that, in conjunction with tabs of side wings of the display, determine the width of the assembled display. The width of the assembled display can be adjusted depending on which slots or apertures of the series of slots or apertures are selected.

A post for supporting trays of a container comprises a plurality of panel sections including a first panel section. The panel sections form first and second corners positioned adjacent to one side surface of the first panel section and that end up at the interior of the post. The upper trays are desirably supported by the interior corners and also by portions of the panel sections that form the interior corners and by a portion of the first panel section to thereby enhance the support provided to the upper trays. Two of the posts can be positioned together in face to face relationship to form a center post for supporting upper trays. Selected panel sections desirably have upwardly extending locking tabs and cross member support receiving slots. Containers comprising plural trays and such posts are also described.
