A rack display including a base having a front panel with a plurality of horizontal and vertical slots included thereon; left and right side panels extending from sides of the front panel; a back panel extending between the left and right side panels; and one or more shelf members including horizontal and vertical tabs. The shelf members are secured to the base by inserting the vertical and horizontal tabs within the vertical and horizontal slots respectively. The rack display is erected from a knockdown configuration by securing the shelf members to the front panel of the base via insertion of the horizontal and vertical tabs within the horizontal and vertical slots respectively.

1. A method of making a corrugated rack display, comprising: forming a base that includes a front panel opposed by left and right side panels, and a back panel extending from between said side panels;forming a fold line between each adjacent panel of said base;forming one or more horizontal slots and one or more vertical slots through a thickness of said front panel; andforming one or more shelf members that are capable of being secured to said front panel of said base, with each of said shelf members including: a bottom panel hingedly coupled to a bottom edge of a vertical panel, said bottom panel being folded inward from said vertical panel;side panels hingedly coupled to opposed ends of said vertical panel, said side panels being folded inward from said vertical panel;horizontal tabs extending from an inner edge of said bottom panel; andvertical tabs extending from an inner edge of said side panels,wherein said horizontal tabs are configured to be inserted within said horizontal slots and said vertical tabs are configured to be inserted within said vertical slots,wherein one or more of said vertical tabs are formed with tab fingers extending from opposed sides of each vertical tab,wherein each tab finger is hingedly coupled to its respective vertical tab such that said tab fingers are capable of being folded with respect to said vertical tabs so as to enable said vertical tabs to be inserted into respective vertical slots, and wherein each set of tab fingers is capable of being unfolded so as to retain said vertical tabs within respective vertical slots thereby securing said shelf members to said base, and wherein one or more of said horizontal tabs are formed with tab fingers that are capable of being folded with respect to said horizontal tabs and that are operable to secure said shelf members to said base. 2. The method claim 1, wherein said rack display is formed from corrugated paperboard material. 3. The method claim 1, wherein one or more of said panels of said base are formed with support tabs that are capable of being folded with respect to said panels and that are operable to facilitated stability of said base of said rack display. 4. The method claim 1, wherein a portion of said shelf members are formed with two pieces of corrugated material that are secured together via an adhesive. 5. The method claim 4, wherein said two pieces of corrugated material are secured together in a cross-corrugated manner. 6. The method claim 1, wherein said shelf member is formed with three horizontal tabs and two vertical tabs. 7. The method claim 1, wherein said back panel includes at least one opening through its thickness, with said opening operable to provide access to an interior of the rack display. 8. The method claim 1, wherein said left and right side panels are each formed with a fold line longitudinally bisecting said panels, such that said rack display is operable to be folded into a knockdown configuration. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein each shelf member defines a pocket between said front panel of said base and said vertical panel of said shelf member when said shelf member is secured to said front panel of said base, said side and bottom panels of said shelf member defining the sides and bottom of said pocket, respectively. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein: said front panel of said base is sloped slightly backwards such that a vertical panel of a first shelf member is positioned slightly forward and below a vertical panel of a second shelf member so as to enable an item, such as a card or a book, to be placed into said pocket of said first shelf member such that the card or book extends beyond said bottom panel of said second shelf member; andsaid side panels of said shelf members are angled to approximately match the slope of the front panel such that the vertical panels of said shelf members remain approximately vertical when said shelf members are secured to said front panel of said base. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein said vertical panel of said second shelf member serves as a back panel for items placed in said pocket of said first shelf member, such as books and cards that extend beyond said bottom panel of said second shelf member. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein each said vertical panel comprises an outer panel and an inner panel, said bottom panel extending from said inner panel and said side panels extending from said outer panel. 13. A method of erecting a rack display, comprising: providing the rack display in a knockdown configuration,wherein said rack display includes a base having a front panel opposed by left and right side panels, and left and right back panels extending from said left and right side panels respectively,wherein said front panel includes one or more horizontal slots and one or more vertical slots,wherein said rack display further includes first and second shelf members, with said shelf members including one or more horizontal tabs and one or more vertical tabs,wherein at least one of said vertical tabs is formed with tab fingers that are capable of being folded with respect to said at least one vertical tab such that each finger is moveable between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration;wherein said first and second shelf members further include a tab panel hingedly coupled to an inner panel;folding said left and right side panels until said side panels are not coplanar with said front panel;folding said left and right back panels until said back panels are not coplanar with said side panels;securing edges of said left and right back panels together;moving said tab fingers of said first shelf member to the folded configuration so as to enable inserting said vertical tabs within said vertical slots;inserting said horizontal and vertical tabs of said first shelf member within respective horizontal and vertical slots of said front panel so as to couple said shelf member to said base at a first position;moving said tab fingers of said second shelf member to the folded configuration so as to enable inserting said vertical tabs within said vertical slots;inserting said horizontal and vertical tabs of said second shelf member within respective horizontal and vertical slots of said front panel so as to couple said shelf member to said base at a second position;wherein said second position is above said first position;moving said tab fingers to the unfolded configuration such that the tab fingers retain the vertical tabs of said first and second shelf members within their respective vertical slots so as to restrict removal of said shelf members from said base,wherein said first shelf member is secured to said front panel of said base in a first position and said second shelf member is secured to said front panel of said base in a second position,wherein said second position is above said first position,wherein said tab panels of said first and second panels extend approximately horizontally from said front panel of said base, and said inner panels extend approximately vertically upward from respective tab panels so as to define a pocket for supporting items, such as cards and magazines, andwherein said front panel of said base is sloped slightly backwards such that a card or book placed within said pocket of said first shelf member is capable of extending approximately vertically upward past said tab panel of said second shelf member without extending into the pocket of said second shelf member. 14. The method of claim 13, further comprising: wherein one or more of said horizontal tabs include tab fingers extending from said horizontal tabs,folding said tab fingers against said horizontal tab before inserting said tabs within said slots;unfolding said tab fingers from against said horizontal tab after inserting said tabs within said slots.
