An assembly for shipping and retail includes a tray supporting products and a removable cover. The tray includes a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, a pair of side walls, and dividers. The cover includes a top panel, a front panel, and a rear panel, and a portion of each of the front and back panels contacts the bottom wall of the tray. The rear panel has rear members separated by a space. The top panel is sized not to exceed the outer dimensions of the tray, and portions thereof may be supported by the side walls. The assemblies are capable of supporting the compression loads due to stacking with the loads being transmitted through the walls and dividers of the cover and tray. The lateral edges of the front and rear panels of the cover are sized to prevent lateral displacement of the cover.
