The knockdown assembly according to claim 1 wherein the lower blank is substantially planar and the upper blank is substantially planar. 3. The knockdown assembly according to claim 1 wherein each of the upper and lower blanks is formed from a single, unitary sheet of corrugated paperboard. 4. The knockdown assembly according to claim 1 wherein each column portion includes a median edge integral with the upper blank central region and a lateral edge, wherein each column portion is folded upon itself, and wherein the lateral edge is secured proximate to the median edge. 5. The knockdown assembly according to claim 1 wherein each column portion includes four column walls such that each of said column portions define a trapezium shaped cross-section when the knockdown is assembled into said display tray. 6. The knockdown assembly according to claim 1 wherein each corner column is configured to extend substantially perpendicular to the upper central region when said knockdown assembly is assembled into the display tray. 7. The knockdown assembly according to claim 6 wherein for each corner column, one of the column walls is configured to be parallel to one of the upper central region edges and a second of the column walls is configured to be parallel to a second one of the upper central region edges when said knockdown assembly is assembled into the display tray. 8. The knockdown assembly according to claim 7 wherein the column walls other than said one and said second of the column walls of each corner column are configured to be non-parallel with respect to the upper central region edges when said knockdown assembly is assembled into the display tray. 9. The knockdown assembly according to claim 1 wherein the first end flaps are configured to extend along the lower central region first edge with the first edge rollover portion folded over and retaining the first end flaps and the second end flaps are configured to extend along the lower central region third edge with the third edge rollover portion folded over and retaining the second end flaps when said knockdown assembly is assembled into the display tray. 10. The knockdown assembly according to claim 1 wherein the lower central region includes at least one lower V-notch and the upper central region includes at least one upper V-notch, and wherein the lower V-notch and upper V-notch is aligned upon attachment of the upper and lower blanks. 11. The knockdown assembly according to claim 1 wherein each upper blank sidewall segment defines a display opening cutout. 12. A display tray formed from the knockdown assembly according to claim 1. 13. A knockdown assembly configured to be assembled into a display tray having first, second, third and fourth side panels and four corner columns, the knockdown assembly comprising: a lower blank comprising a lower blank central region having first, second, third, and fourth edges and surrounded at each edge by first, second, third and fourth sidewall segments, at least the first and third sidewall segments including a rollover portion, wherein each of said second and fourth sidewall segments extend from a respective first end to a respective second end, and wherein end flaps are attached to each first end and each second end of both the second and fourth sidewall segments;an upper blank comprising an upper blank central region having first, second, third, and fourth edges, a first sidewall segment attached at the second edge, a second sidewall segment attached at the fourth edge, and first, second, third, and fourth column portions extending from first, second, third, and fourth corners of the upper blank central region,said upper blank central region and said lower blank central region having substantially the same shape and are substantially equal in size;wherein a lower surface of the upper blank is adhesively attached to an upper surface of the lower blank so as to line up the upper central region on top of the lower central region. 14. The knockdown assembly according to claim 13 wherein each column portion includes a median edge integral with the upper blank central region and a lateral edge, wherein each column portion is folded upon itself, and wherein the lateral edge is secured proximate to the median edge. 15. The knockdown assembly according to claim 13 wherein each column portion includes a plurality of fold lines dividing each of said column portions into at least three column walls, wherein one of said column walls of each of said column portions is adjacent to and in face to face relationship with one of said second and fourth sidewall segments of said lower blank. 16. The knockdown assembly according to claim 15 wherein said column walls are foldable relative to one another about said fold lines such that each of said column columns has a polygonal cross-section when said knockdown assembly is assembled into said display tray. 17. A knockdown assembly configured to be assembled into a display tray having first, second, third and fourth side panels and four corner columns, the knockdown assembly comprising: a lower blank comprising a lower blank central region having first, second, third, and fourth edges and surrounded at each edge by first, second, third and fourth sidewall segments, at least the first and third sidewall segments including a rollover portion, wherein each of said second and fourth sidewall segments extend from a respective first end to a respective second end, and wherein end flaps are attached to each first end and each second end of both the second and fourth sidewall segments;an upper blank comprising an upper blank central region having first, second, third, and fourth edges, a first sidewall segment attached at the second edge, a second sidewall segment attached at the fourth edge, and first, second, third, and fourth column portions extending from first, second, third, and fourth corners of the upper blank central region,lower sidewall segment fold lines separating said second and fourth sidewall segments of said lower blank from said lower blank central portion;upper sidewall segment fold lines separating said first and second sidewall segments of said upper blank from said upper blank central portion;said upper blank central region and said lower blank central region having substantially the same shape and size;wherein a lower surface of the upper blank is adhesively attached to an upper surface of the lower blank so as to line up the upper central region on top of the lower central region; andwherein said lower sidewall segment fold lines and said upper sidewall segment fold lines are adjacent and parallel to one another so as to allow said second sidewall segment of said lower blank and said first sidewall segments of said upper blank, and said fourth sidewall segment of said lower blank and said second sidewall segment of said upper blank to fold together as a unit to form portions of said second and fourth side panels of said display tray when the knockdown assembly is assembled into the display tray.
