A shipping and display container and a method of disassembling the same, having a first and second blanks configured to form respective first and second sections of the container when nested. The blanks are affixed to one another at least one cooperating fixation area. When a force is applied, the at least one fixation area of the first section is separated from the first section, and the at least one fixation area of the second section is disengaged from a portion of the second section as to rotate about a hinge. The fixation area of the second section remains affixed to the fixation area of the first section, and allows the first section of the container to be separated from the second section of the container. The second section of the container is retained to display the contents of the container.
