A stackable display tray including a shell having a plurality of sides defined by an equal number of corners, a substantially closed bottom having bottom corners corresponding with the corners of the shell, and a top having top corners corresponding with the corners of said shell. The top includes at least two first openings each adjacent to an independent top corner, and the bottom includes at least two second openings each adjacent to an independent bottom corner. The display tray also includes a side panel member having at least two angular panels positioned within the shell adjacent at least two of the corners and including a tab projecting from the top of at least two of the angular panels. At least two of the first openings each receive the tab of one of the angular panels positioned within the shell and at least two of the second openings are each adapted to receive a tab of an angular panel of a side panel member which projects out from a top of an adjacent display tray positioned below the bottom.

A stackable display tray including a shell having a plurality of sides defined by an equal number of corners, a substantially closed bottom having bottom corners corresponding with the corners of the shell, and a top having top corners corresponding with the corners of said shell. The top includes at least two first openings each adjacent to an independent top corner, and the bottom includes at least two second openings each adjacent to an independent bottom corner. The display tray also includes a side panel member having at least two angular panels positioned within the shell adjacent at least two of the corners and including a tab projecting from the top of at least two of the angular panels. At least two of the first openings each receive the tab of one of the angular panels positioned within the shell and at least two of the second openings are each adapted to receive a tab of an angular panel of a side panel member which projects out from a top of an adjacent display tray positioned below the bottom. onship to a segment of the back panel, the pocket mouth flap flexes inwardly into said pocket space along said zone of attachment thereby permitting easy insertion and retention of an object through the resulting pocket mouth opening and within the pocket space. 6. A blank as defined in claim 5, wherein the opposing edge of the front panel functions as a fastening edge, and said retaining means includes a fastening tab cut interior to the edges and through the face of the back panel having two extremity points defining a line disposed generally parallel to the bottom scoreline and spaced a predetermined distance from said bottom scoreline, so that said predetermined distance is shorter than the distance the fastening edge of the front panel is from the bottom scoreline, the fastening edge adapted to be engaged under the fastening tab when the blank is assembled into a carrier configuration. 7. A blank as defined in claim 5, wherein the opposing edge of the front panel functions as a fastening edge, and said retaining means includes a fastening slit having an offset end and an angled extension opposite said offset end, said fastening slit cut interior to the lateral edges and through the faces of said back panel, laterally offset from center by a predetermined distance, oriented parallel to and spaced a predetermined distance from said bottom scoreline and said fastening edge includes a locking tab, laterally centered and extending outward from said fastening edge, said locking tab having a width slightly less than said fastening slit and having an integral lock notch extending inward from its side the same distance which said fastening slit is offset from center, so as to align at its innermost point with said offset end, and positioned coincident with said fastening edge which is spaced a shorter distance from said bottom scoreline than said fastening slit is positioned from said bottom scoreline, so that, in assembling said carrier, when said front panel is folded along said bottom scoreline so that said interior face portion overlies said interior face portion of said back panel and when, thereafter, said fastening edge is made to slide towards bottom scoreline causing said front panel to bow outwardly followed by moving said front panel laterally to slidingly align said locking tab and said fastening slit so that said locking tab can be directly inserted into and urged through said fastening slit and when, there after, by allowing said front panel to return the same lateral distance, said lock notch engagingly overlies said offset end of said fastening slit and said locking tab is moved into overlapping alignment with said offset end so that said front panel is maintained in a secured and bowed engagement with said back panel and thereby restrained from further lateral and vertical movement. 8. A blank as defined in claim 7, wherein said fastening edge includes a first over-flap and a second over-flap symmetrically disposed to each side of said locking tab, the three extending roughly an equal distance outward from said fastening edge so that, during assembly of said carrier, these two over-flaps remain in close contact with said interior face portion of said back panel as said locking tab is inserted through said fastening slit, the pressure being exerted by these two over-flaps causing a reverse flexing to occur in said outwardly bowed front panel resulting in said locking tab being forced into close contact with said exterior face portion of said back panel when assembly is completed. 9. A blank as defined in claim 2, including an attachment means having two mounting slits, cut through the faces of said back panel, the mounting slits having a first prong slit and a second prong slit, laterally spaced apart near the distal edge of said back panel, said mounting slits being adapted to accept the prongs of a standard metal bipronged fastener device having a first prong and a second prong that are insertable through the two
