A display container is provided herein which includes a box portion having a base portion, spaced-apart upstanding first and second end panels, and spaced-apart upstanding first and second edge panels extending from the base portion. The first and second edge panels are located between the first and second end panels, and the first edge panel extends a lesser distance from the base portion than the first end panel and the second end panel. The display container also includes a reinforcing layer having a first panel disposed to overlap at least portions of the base portion, a second panel disposed adjacent to the first end panel in face-to-face engagement, and a third panel disposed adjacent to the second end panel in face-to-face engagement. The reinforcing layer is formed of a material stronger in shear than the material of the box portion. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a display container may be formed which has greater strength both for product containment and stacking as compared to the prior art.
