A merchandiser for displaying items at an angle with respect to a rear panel of a display fixture is formed from flat sheets. The merchandiser has first and second side panels separated by a bottom panel along first and second fold lines that are generally parallel to each other. The first and second panels are offset from each other and may be folded toward each other to a generally parallel orientation. The merchandiser has tabs extend from a rear thereof that may be received in slots in the rear panel of the fixture to couple the merchandiser thereto. The merchandiser is reversible and may be folded into a functional form which angles to either the right or the left with respect to the panel to which they are coupled to allow customers to easily view the front of items held therein while still maintaining a high density of display.

1. A merchandiser for displaying items at a non-perpendicular angle with respect to a rear panel of a fixture to which the merchandiser may be attached for use, the merchandiser comprising: a generally planar and unitary sheet having first and second side panels separated by a bottom panel, wherein the first side panel is coupled to the bottom panel along a first fold line and wherein the second side panel is coupled to the bottom panel along a second fold line, the first and second fold lines being non-perpendicular relative to front and rear edges of the bottom panel,wherein the first and second fold lines are generally parallel to each other,wherein the first and second side panels are mirror images of each other,wherein the first and second side panels each include a tab extending from a rear edge thereof,wherein the first and second side panels may be folded up toward each other to a first generally parallel configuration to provide a first non-perpendicular angle of display relative to the rear panel of the fixture or folded down toward each other to a second generally parallel configuration to provide a second non-perpendicular angle of display relative to the rear panel of the fixture, andwherein the tabs may be received in slots in the rear panel of the fixture to couple the merchandiser thereto. 2. The merchandiser of claim 1, wherein the bottom panel includes a projection extending from a rear edge thereof, and wherein the projection includes a pair of opposed ears that are foldable toward each other. 3. The merchandiser of claim 1, wherein the first and second side panels are offset from each other such that when they are moved to a generally parallel orientation, the first and second side panels are not perpendicular to a plane that contains rear edges of both the first and second side panels. 4. The merchandiser of claim 3, wherein the sheet is reversible to provide an angled display in opposite directions relative to the rear panel of the fixture, and wherein the first and second side panels are pentagonal in shape. 5. The merchandiser of claim 3, wherein the sheet is comprised of a transparent plastic. 6. The merchandiser of claim 5, wherein the transparent plastic is comprised of styrene-butadiene copolymers. 7. The merchandiser of claim 3, further comprising an opening in the bottom panel configured to receive a portion of an informational sign for coupling thereto. 8. The merchandiser of claim 3, wherein a front edge of the tabs abuts a rear surface of the rear panel when inserted in the fixture to resist the weight of merchandise placed in the merchandiser. 9. The merchandiser of claim 3, wherein the merchandiser is configured to lay flat such that multiple merchandisers may be stacked upon one another in a flat position. 10. A merchandiser for displaying greeting cards at a non-perpendicular angle with respect to a rear panel of a display fixture to which the merchandiser may be attached for use, the merchandiser comprising: a generally planar and unitary sheet comprised of transparent plastic, the sheet comprising first and second side panels separated by a bottom panel;the bottom panel having a front edge and a rear edge, wherein the front edge and rear edge are opposite and generally parallel to each other;a projection extending from the rear edge of the bottom panel, the projection having opposed ears which may be folded for insertion into a horizontal slot in the rear panel of the display fixture;the first side panel joined to the bottom panel at a first fold line and the second side panel joined to the bottom panel at a second fold line, wherein the first and second fold lines are generally parallel to one another, wherein the first and second fold lines are non-perpendicular to the front edge and the rear edge,wherein the first and second side panels may be folded up toward each other to a first generally parallel configuration to provide a first non-perpendicular angle of display relative to the rear panel of the display fixture or folded down toward each other to a second generally parallel configuration to provide a second non-perpendicular angle of display relative to the rear panel of the display fixture, andwherein the first and second side panels are mirror images of each other, the first and second side panels each having a rear edge, a front edge parallel to the rear edge, an upper edge parallel to the respective first or second fold line, and a sloped edge extending between the front edge and the upper edge; anda tab extending from the rear edge of each of the first and second side panels and configured to be inserted into a vertical slot in the rear panel of the display fixture. 11. The merchandiser of claim 10, wherein the first and second side panels each comprise a greater surface area than the bottom panel. 12. The merchandiser of claim 10, wherein the first and second side panels are offset from one another such that the merchandiser provides an angled display when coupled to the rear panel of the display fixture in the first generally parallel configuration or in the second generally parallel configuration. 13. The merchandiser of claim 10, further comprising an opening in the bottom panel configured to receive a portion of an informational sign for coupling thereto. 14. The merchandiser of claim 10, wherein the bottom panel is generally a parallelogram in shape. 15. The merchandiser of claim 10, wherein the first and second side panels have an irregular pentagon shape. 16. The merchandiser of claim 10, wherein the sheet is formed by injection molding and the fold lines are formed at areas of reduced thickness in the sheet. 17. The merchandiser of claim 10, wherein the sheet is die-cut and the fold lines are formed by at least one of perforations and partial cuts. 18. A merchandiser for displaying greeting cards at a non-perpendicular angle with respect to a rear panel of a display fixture to which the merchandiser may be attached for use, the merchandiser comprising: a generally planar and unitary sheet comprised of transparent plastic, the sheet comprising:a bottom panel being generally a parallelogram in shape, the bottom panel having a front edge and a rear edge, wherein the front edge and the rear edge are opposite and roughly parallel to each other;a projection extending perpendicularly from the rear edge of the bottom panel, the projection having opposed ears extending perpendicularly from the projection, wherein the opposed ears may be folded for insertion into a horizontal slot of the rear panel of the display fixture;a first side panel joined to the bottom panel at a first fold line and a second side panel joined to the bottom panel at a second fold line, wherein the first and second fold lines are generally parallel to one another,wherein the first and second fold lines are non-perpendicular to the front edge and the rear edge,wherein the first and second side panels are mirror images of each other with each having an irregular pentagon shape,wherein the first and second side panels each have a rear edge perpendicular to the fold lines, a front edge perpendicular to the fold lines and parallel to the rear edges, an upper edge perpendicular to the rear edges and parallel to the fold lines, and a sloped edge extending between the front edge and the upper edge of each panel, andwherein the first and second side panels may be folded up toward each other to a first generally parallel configuration to provide a first non-perpendicular angle of display relative to the rear panel of the display fixture or folded down toward each other to a second generally parallel configuration to provide a second non-perpendicular angle of display relative to the rear panel of the display fixture; anda tab extending from the rear edge of each of the first and second side panels proximate the upper edge and configured such that a front edge of the tab abuts against a rear surface of the rear panel when the merchandiser is in use,wherein the tabs and projection may be received in slots of the rear panel of the display fixture. 19.
