A product display and delivery system comprising modular, disposable, product-filled cartridges fitted with a plurality of external fastener devices, positioned in a unique arrangement, which enables the cartridges to be releasably joined in a plurality of different orientations relative to one another, including orientations in which a cartridge is rotated 180 degrees relative to the other cartridges of the product display. The positioning of the fastener devices also enables the releasable joining of cartridges having different depths and the releasable joining of cartridges to a stabilizing system which extends beneath a first row of cartridges to reduce movement of the cartridges relative to a surface on which the cartridges rest. In accordance with a preferred apparatus, each cartridge is created from two elongated, rectangular, interlocking sleeves positioned with the first sleeve residing inside the second sleeve. A plurality of hook and loop type fastener devices are affixed to the outer surface of each cartridge and overlap cartridge edges which are defined by a cartridge's adjoining wall segments. The fastener devices are positioned along each edge at a distance measured from each cartridge's front panel and are arranged so that fastener devices of different sexes are opposite one another along edges partially defined by a common adjoining wall segment. In accordance with a preferred method, a plurality of cartridges are pressed together to releasably engage the opposite-sex fastener devices of adjacent cartridges to create a desired modular orientation of cartridges which may, subsequently, be rearranged in a different orientation.
