A shrouded container includes a display stand having a general configuration of a rectangular prism and bounding an internal space for receiving items to be displayed when the display stand is in its erected position of use, and a shroud configured to be slid over the display stand and including a top that completes the enclosure of the internal space when the shroud is mounted on the display stand to permit shipping of the items to be displayed in such enclosed space. The display stand includes a false bottom that is supported at a predetermined elevation above ground by a strip-shaped portion hingedly connecting a front region of the false bottom to an upper edge of the front wall, and by a supporting structure including two supporting flaps each extending along an inclined course from the bottom region of one of the front and rear walls of the display stand to the predetermined elevation where the supporting flaps are connected to one another to give the support structure a configuration reminiscent of an A-frame roof. The display stand further includes a true bottom that is constituted by two bottom wall portions each hingedly connected to one of the side walls of the display stand. The true bottom wall portions carry respective upholding flaps that extend substantially vertically in the central region of the display stand and are provided with locking tabs that engage in corresponding openings of the supporting flaps to lock the upholding and supporting flaps in place.
