1. A shipping container convertible to a display tray comprising: a floor panel;first and second end panels;a first positioning panel;a first side panel; anda containment panel comprising a first main portion and a first end portion extending at an angle to said first main portion, said first end portion located in a first notch defined at least in part by said first end panel and said first positioning panel, said containment panel being removable so as to convert the shipping container to a display tray wherein said containment panel is not fastened or adhesively adhered to any one of said first and second end panels and said first positioning panel. 2. The shipping container as set out in claim 1, wherein said first and second end panels are integral with said floor panel. 3. The shipping container as set out in claim 1, wherein said first positioning panel comprises a first inner positioning panel and further comprising a first outer positioning panel, said first end panel being located between said first inner and outer positioning panels and said first notch being defined by said first end panel and said first inner and outer positioning panels such that said first inner and outer positioning panels frictionally engage said containment panel first end portion to frictionally hold said containment panel in position. 4. The shipping container as set out in claim 3, further comprising second inner and outer positioning panels, said second end panel being located between said second inner and outer positioning panels such that a second notch is defined by said second end panel and said second inner and outer positioning panels, said containment panel further comprising a second end portion extending at an angle to said first main portion, said containment panel second end portion being located in said second notch such that said second inner and outer positioning panels frictionally engage said containment panel second end portion. 5. The shipping container as set out in claim 4, wherein said first and second end portions of said containment panel extend generally orthogonally to said first main portion. 6. The shipping container as set out in claim 5, wherein said first and second inner positioning panels are integral with said first side panel and said first and second outer positioning panels are integral with a second side panel. 7. The shipping container as set out in claim 4, wherein said first inner and outer positioning panels have first and second gripping slots aligned with one another and said second inner and outer positioning panels have third and fourth gripping slots aligned with one another. 8. The shipping container as set out in claim 7, wherein said first end panel has a first recess formed in an upper edge and aligned with said first and second gripping slots in said first inner and outer positioning panels and said second end panel has a second recess formed in an upper edge and aligned with said third and fourth gripping slots in said second inner and outer positioning panels. 9. The shipping container as set out in claim 4, further comprising an upper panel integral with said containment panel, said upper panel comprising a main section and first and second end sections. 10. The shipping container as set out in claim 9, wherein each of said first and second notches has a generally L shape and said first and second end sections of said upper panel are adapted to be received in said first and second notches. 11. The shipping container as set out in claim 4, wherein said first and second notches extend generally the entire heights of said first and second end panels. 12. The shipping container as set out in claim 1, further comprising an upper panel integral with said containment panel. 13. A process for assembling a shipping container comprising: providing a blank comprising: a floor panel, first and second end panels, a first positioning panel, a first side panel, and a containment panel comprising a first main portion and a first end portion extending at an angle to the first main portion;positioning at least the first end panel and the first positioning panel so as to define a first notch wherein the first positioning panel comprises a first inner positioning panel and the blank further comprises a first outer positioning panel, said positioning comprises positioning the first end panel and the first inner and outer positioning panels so as to define the first notch; andlocating the containment panel first end portion so that it is received in the first notch and, wherein the blank further comprises a second inner positioning panel and a second outer positioning panel, and the containment panel further comprises a second end portion extending at an angle to the first main portion, the process further comprising:positioning the second end panel and the second inner and outer positioning panels so as to define a second notch, andlocating the containment panel second end portion so that it is received in the second notch. 14. The process of claim 13, wherein an upper panel is integral with the containment panel, the upper panel comprising a main section and a first end section, the process further comprises positioning the upper panel such that the first end section of the upper panel is received in the first notch. 15. A blank adapted to be formed into a display tray comprising: a floor panel;first and second end panels;first inner and outer positioning panels and wherein the first inner positioning panel includes a first center section (20A), first and second end sections (20B) and (20C) integral with and extending laterally from the first center section (20A) and a first outer section (20D) integral with center section (20A), the first center section (20A) had a length (L20A) and the first outer section (20D) length (L20D) wherein the respective length (L20A) and the length (L20D) are less than a length (L14) of the first end panel;second inner and outer positioning panels;first and second side panels, said first side panel being coupled to said floor panel and said first and second inner positioning panels and said second side panel being coupled to said floor panel and said first and second outer positioning panels. 16. The blank as set out in claim 15, wherein said first end panel has a length less than a length of said floor panel such that a first gap between the first end panel and the first outer positioning panel is greater than a gap between the first end panel and the first inner positioning panel. 17. The blank as set out in claim 16, wherein said first inner and outer positioning panels have first and second gripping slots which are adapted to be aligned with one another when the blank is assembled. 18. The blank as set out in claim 17, wherein said second side panel is notched so as to define a viewing window.
