The invention relates to a container, typically formed from a card material blank 10. The container is movable between a first, storage and transport format and a second, display format in which items originally stored within the container, can be viewed and accessed. The container, in the storage format substantially encloses all the articles held therein and in a second format can be converted, by the tearing of one or more lines of weakness 30a, 30b, and removing removable sections 44, to form one or more trays 46, 48 in which the articles within the container can be placed and displayed. Preferably the container is constructed from a tubular blank. The invention therefore allows the use of the same container for the transport of goods, typically to a retail outlet, and then a display of the articles at the retail outlet for potential purchase. There is therefore no need to provide two sets of packaging and the container can be easily converted from the first to the second format without the requirement of particular strength or specific tools. |
