A multi-panel display device, a blank therefor, and a method of forming a multi-panel device for display. The blank may have a center panel; a first side panel attached to the center panel along a first pre-weakened line; a second side panel attached to the center panel along a second pre-weakened line; and a header panel detachably coupled to the second side panel along a third pre-weakened line. The center panel, the first, side panel, and the second side panel may all have the same height. A ratio of the width of the center panel to a width of each of the first and second side panels may be approximately 2:1.

The method of claim 1 wherein the folded blank is an integral structure comprising the first and second side panels, the center panel, and the header panel. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the header panel comprises a first slot and a second slot, each of the first and second slots extending from one of the first and second edges of the header panel towards the other of the first and second edges of the header panel. 4. The method of claim 3 wherein coupling the header panel to the top edge of each of the first and second side panels comprises inserting the top edge of the first side panel into the first slot of the header panel and inserting the top edge of the second side panel into the second slot of the header panel. 5. The method of claim 4 wherein a distance between the first and second slots is greater than a width of the center panel measured between the first and second edges of the center panel. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein the separating the header panel from the second side panel takes place after the unfolding the first and second side panels relative to the center panel. 7. The method of claim 1 wherein in the assembled multi-panel device, the header panel spans the distance between the front surfaces of the first and second side panels and extends beyond the rear surfaces of each of the first and second side panels. 8. The method of claim 1 wherein in the folded blank, bottom edges of each of the center panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, and the header panel lie on a first plane and top edges of each of the center panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, and the header panel lie on a second plane, the first and second planes being parallel, and wherein in the assembled multi-panel device the second plane intersects and is perpendicular to the front surface of the header panel. 9. The method of claim 1 wherein the providing the folded blank further comprises the first side panel being folded over the center panel about the first pre-weakened line so that the front surface of the first side panel faces a first portion of the front surface of the center panel and the second side panel being folded over the center panel about the second pre-weakened line so that the front surface of the second side panel faces a second portion of the front surface of the center panel and the front surface of the header panel faces at least a portion of the rear surface of the first side panel. 10. A blank for a multi-panel display device comprising: a center panel having a first edge, a second edge, a top edge, and a bottom edge, a first height measured between the top and bottom edges of the center panel and a first width measured between the first and second edges of the center panel;a first side panel having a first edge, a second edge, a top edge, and a bottom edge, a second height measured between the top and bottom edges of the first side panel and a second width measured between the first edge and the second edge of the first side panel, the second edge of the first side panel attached to the first edge of the center panel along a first pre-weakened line;a second side panel having a first edge, a second edge, a top edge, and a bottom edge, a third height measured between the top and bottom edges of the second side panel and a third width measured between the first and second edges of the second side panel, the first edge of the second side panel attached to the second edge of the center panel along a second pre-weakened line; anda header panel having a first edge and a second edge, the first edge of the header panel detachably coupled to the second edge of the second side panel along a third pre-weakened line; andwherein each of the first, second, and third heights is the same; andwherein the third width of the second side panel is greater than or equal to the first width of the center panel minus the second width of the first side panel. 11. The blank of claim 10 wherein the center panel is devoid of any pre-weakened lines between the first and second edges thereof. 12. The blank of claim 11 wherein the first side panel is devoid of any pre-weakened lines between the first and second edges thereof, the second side panel is devoid of any pre-weakened lines between the first and second edges thereof, and the third side panel is devoid of any pre-weakened lines between the first and second edges thereof. 13. The blank of claim 10 wherein the second width of the first side panel is substantially equal to the third width of the second side panel. 14. The blank of claim 10 wherein a ratio of the first width of the center panel to each of the second width of the first side panel and the third width of the second side panel is approximately 2:1. 15. The blank of claim 10 wherein the header panel has a fourth height measured between a top edge and a bottom edge thereof, the fourth height being the same as the first, second, and third heights. 16. The blank of claim 10 wherein the top edges of the center panel, the first side panel, and the second side panel lie on a first plane and wherein the bottom edges of the center panel, the first side panel, and the second side panel lie on a second plane, the first and second planes being parallel. 17.
