A container that holds small bulk articles observable through mesh-covered openings while restricting access for substituting articles among containers formed by folding a blank on scores to define a top wall with two opposing end walls and two opposing side walls. Each side wall has a bottom wall foldable on a respective score for closing the container after filing with contents. At least one of the top wall and side walls defines an opening that is covered with a netting that restricts casual removal of the contents while permitting visual inspection.

What is claimed is: 1. A container for shipping and displaying small bulk articles, comprising: a blank of a sheet material, scored to define a top wall, a pair of opposing end walls, and a pair of opposing side walls, foldable on the scores to form an inverted container with an open bottom, the opposing side walls each having a bottom wall foldable on a respective score for closing the container after filing with contents and a pair of inside end walls each foldably attached along a respective score at opposing longitudinal ends of the side wall, and opposing edges of the inside end walls define a recess and an opposing tab, whereby in a stack of said containers, the tab of a container is received in the recess of an adjacent vertically higher container; at least one of the top wall, side walls, or end walls defining an opening; and a netting attached to an inner surface in overlying relation to the opening, whereby the contents within the closed container are visible through the netting but the netting restricts casual removal of the contents therefrom. 2. The container as recited in claim 1, wherein the bottom wall foldably attaches at an edge of the side walls outwardly of the top wall. 3. The container as recited in claim 2, wherein the bottom wall defines opposing locking tabs foldably attached along a score at longitudinal edges of the bottom wall, which locking tabs fold inwardly of the end walls upon folding the bottom wall parallel to the top wall. 4. The container as recited in claim 1, wherein the top wall defines two pairs of opposing slots spaced from the score defining the end wall, whereby folding the end walls on the scores defines tabs extending from the end walls adjacent the top wall. 5. The container as recited in claim 4, wherein the end walls further define recesses opposing the tabs for receiving the tabs of a vertically adjacent container when stacked. 6. The container as recited in claim 1, wherein the sheet comprises corrugated paperboard. 7. A container for shipping and displaying small bulk articles, comprising: a blank of a corrugated paperboard sheet, scored to define a top wall, two opposing end walls, and two opposing side walls, foldable on the scores to form an inverted container with an open bottom, the opposing side walls each having a bottom wall foldable on a respective score outwardly of the top wall for closing the container after filing with contents; the longitudinal ends of the side walls defined by scores that each define a foldably attached inside end wall that folds towards an opposing inside end wall on the opposing side wall, opposing edges of the inside end walls define a recess and an opposing tab, whereby in a stack of said containers, the tab of a container is received in the recess of a adjacent vertically higher container; the top wall and two opposing side walls each defining an opening; and a netting attached to an inner surface in overlying relation to the openings, whereby the contents within the closed container are visible through the netting but the netting restricts casual removal of the contents therefrom, whereby a container forms by folding the side walls from the top wall, folding the inside end walls towards each other, and folding the end walls from the top wall for filling the container from the open bottom prior to folding the bottom walls parallel to the top wall. 8. The container as recited in claim 7, wherein the bottom wall defines opposing locking tabs foldably attached along a score at longitudinal edges of the bottom wall, which locking tabs fold inwardly of the end walls upon folding the bottom wall parallel to the top wall. 9. The container as recited in claim 7, wherein the top wall defines two pairs of opposing slots spaced from the score defining the end wall, whereby folding the end walls on the scores defines tabs extending from the end walls adjacent the top wall. 10. The container as recited in claim 9, wherein the end walls further define recesses opposing the tabs for receiving the tabs of a vertically adjacent container when stacked. 11. A container for shipping and displaying small bulk articles, comprising: a blank of a sheet material, scored to define a top wall, a pair of opposing end walls, and a pair of opposing side walls, foldable on the scores to form an inverted container with an open bottom, the top wall defining two pairs of opposing slots spaced from the score defining the end wall whereby folding the end walls on the scores defines tabs extending from the end walls adjacent the top wall, the opposing side walls each having a bottom wall foldable on a respective score for closing the container after filing with contents; at least one of the top wall, side walls, or end walls defining an opening; and a netting attached to an inner surface in overlying relation to the opening, whereby the contents within the closed container are visible through the netting but the netting restricts casual removal of the contents therefrom. 12. The container as recited in claim 11, wherein the end walls further define recesses opposing the tabs for receiving the tabs of a vertically adjacent container when stacked. 13. The container as recited in claim 11, wherein the bottom wall foldably attaches at an edge of the side walls outwardly of the top wall. 14. The container as recited in claim 13, wherein the bottom wall defines opposing locking tabs foldably attached along a score at longitudinal edges of the bottom wall, which locking tabs fold inwardly of the end walls upon folding the bottom wall parallel to the top wall. 15. The container as recited in claim 11, wherein the blank further defines an inside end wall foldably attached along a score at opposing longitudinal ends of the side walls. 16. The container as recited in claim 11, wherein opposing edges of the inside end walls define a recess and an opposing tab, whereby in a stack of said containers, the tab of a container is received in the recess of a adjacent vertically higher container. 17. The container as recited in claim 11, wherein the sheet comprises corrugated paperboard. 18. A container for shipping and displaying small bulk articles, comprising: a blank of a corrugated paperboard sheet, scored to define a top wall, two opposing end walls, and two opposing side walls, foldable on the scores to form an inverted container with an open bottom, the top wall defines two pairs of opposing slots spaced from the score defining the end wall, whereby folding the end walls on the scores defines tabs extending from the end walls adjacent the top wall, the end walls further define recesses opposing the tabs for receiving the tabs of a vertically adjacent container when stacked, the opposing side walls each having a bottom wall foldable on a respective score outwardly of the top wall for closing the container after filing with contents, the longitudinal ends of the side walls defined by scores that each define a foldably attached inside end wall that folds towards an opposing inside end wall on the opposing side wall; the top wall and two opposing side walls each defining an opening; and a netting attached to an inner surface in overlying relation to the openings, whereby the contents within the closed container are visible through the netting but the netting restricts casual removal of the contents therefrom, whereby a container forms by folding the side walls from the top wall, folding the inside end walls towards each other, and folding the end walls from the top wall for filling the container from the open bottom prior to folding the bottom walls parallel to the top wall. 19. The container as recited in claim 18, wherein opposing edges of the inside end walls define a recess and an opposing tab, whereby in a stack of said containers, the tab of a container is received in the recess of a adjacent vertically higher container. 20. The container as recited in claim 18, wherein the bottom wall defines opposing locking tabs foldably attached along a score at longitudinal edges of the bottom wall, which locking tabs fold inwardly of the end walls upon folding the bottom wall parallel to the top wall.
