A stackable container for displaying a product and a method of use, the container having: a primary blank configured to form an exterior of the container and first and second secondary blanks configured to form a first and second interior side wall of the container respectively. In a first configuration, the first and second secondary blanks are pivotably affixed to the primary blank in a substantially coplanar orientation. In a second configuration, the first and second secondary blanks are folded to form a container having a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, a first exterior side wall, and a second exterior side wall. The first and second secondary blanks form first and second interior side walls offset from the first and second exterior side walls respectively, such that a void is provided between the interior side wall and the exterior side wall.

1. A container, comprising: a primary blank configured to form an exterior of the container, andat least one secondary blank configured to form an interior side panel of the container, wherein the secondary blank includes a pair of spaced apart end areas that are affixed to the primary blank at spaced apart locations on the primary blank, and wherein the secondary blank further defines an intermediate area located between the end areas,wherein in a first configuration the secondary blank is affixed to the primary blank in a substantially coplanar orientation in which the intermediate area of the secondary blank overlies a facing area of the primary blank; andwherein in a second configuration the primary blank and secondary blank are folded to form an erected container, the erected container having: a series of exterior panels comprising a bottom panel, a front panel, a rear panel, a first side panel, and a second side panel formed by the primary blank, andan interior side panel formed by the intermediate area of the secondary blank, wherein the interior side panel is formed by the end areas of the secondary blank remaining affixed to the primary blank during movement of the primary and secondary blanks from the first configuration to the second configuration while the intermediate area of the secondary blank is moved to a position that is spaced from the facing area of the primary blank, wherein the facing area of the primary blank defines at least a portion of one of the exterior panels of the erected container, and wherein a void is defined between the interior side panel and the exterior panel, and wherein one of the end areas of the secondary blank defines a support panel disposed along an upper edge of the container that extends between the interior side panel and the exterior panel. 2. The container of claim 1, wherein the at least one secondary blank comprises first and second secondary blanks, each of which is configured to form an interior side panel of the container: wherein each of the first and second secondary blanks includes a pair of spaced apart end areas that are affixed to the primary blank at spaced apart locations on the primary blank, and further defines an intermediate area located between the end areas;wherein in a first configuration the first and second secondary blanks are affixed to the primary blank in a substantially coplanar orientation in which the intermediate area of each secondary blank overlies a facing area of the primary blank;wherein in a second configuration the primary blank and the first and second secondary blanks are folded to form an erected container, the erected container having:a series of exterior panels comprising a bottom panel, a front panel, a rear panel, a first side panel, and a second side panel formed by the primary blank, anda pair of interior side panels formed by the intermediate areas of the first and second secondary blanks, wherein each interior side panel is formed by the end areas of the secondary blanks remaining affixed to the primary blank during movement of the primary and first and second secondary blanks from the first configuration to the second configuration while the intermediate areas of the secondary blanks are each moved to a position that is spaced from the facing area of the primary blank, wherein each facing area of the primary blank defines at least a portion of one of the exterior panels of the erected container, and wherein a void is defined between each interior side panel and one of the exterior panels, and wherein one of the end areas of each secondary blank defines a support panel disposed along an upper edge of the container that extends between each interior side panel and one of the exterior panels. 3. The container of claim 2, wherein the front panel has a height less than a height of the first and second exterior side panels of the primary blank. 4. The container of claim 2 wherein in the first configuration, footprints of the first and second secondary blank are disposed within a footprint of the primary blank. 5. The container of claim 2, wherein the front panel comprises a fixed lower section, a removable upper section, and a perforated tear line disposed between the fixed lower section and the removable upper section. 6. The container of claim 2, further comprising a top panel, wherein the top panel is pivotably affixed to the rear panel along the upper edge of the rear panel. 7. The container of claim 6, wherein the upper edge further provides a plurality of perforations forming a perforated tear line. 8. A container, comprising: a primary blank folded to form a bottom, a front panel, a rear panel, a first exterior side panel, and a second exterior side panel; anda secondary blank affixed to the primary blank adjacent the first exterior side panel, the secondary blank forming an interior side panel offset from the first exterior side panel, a support panel disposed between the first interior side panel and the first exterior side panel having a surface that is generally perpendicular to a surface of the first exterior side panel, and a void located below the support panel and between the interior side panel and the first exterior side panel. 9. The container of claim 8, wherein the front panel has a height less than a height of the first and second exterior side panels of the primary blank. 10. The container of claim 8, further comprising a top panel, wherein the top panel is pivotably affixed to the rear panel along an upper edge of the rear panel. 11. The container of claim 10, wherein the upper edge includes a plurality of perforations, and wherein the upper edge is configured to be torn along the plurality of perforations. 12. The container of claim 8, further comprising a second secondary blank affixed to the primary blank adjacent the second exterior side panel, the second secondary blank forming a second interior side panel offset from the second exterior side panel, a second support panel disposed between the second interior side panel and the second exterior side panel, and a void located below the second support panel and between the second interior side panel and the second exterior side panel. 13. The container of claim 12, wherein the first and second support panels are flush with an upper edge of the container. 14. The container of claim 12, wherein the first and second support panels are configured to receive an external weight thereon. 15.
