Definitions
- Embodiments of the present invention relate to a pallet system for displaying products.
- Pallet systems that house and display products in retail stores or the like at the point of sale are well known. Retailers use such systems to reduce the costs of shipping, stocking and displaying products with such costs-savings being passed on to the consumer.
- Retail pallet systems are generally made of flat paperboard or corrugated board that can be folded or assembled into free standing structures with trays with planar bases and panels. The folding of the panels is made possible through the use of pre-manufactured score lines or separation lines along the paperboard or corrugated board.
- Pallet systems generally have a plurality of planar tiers with a plurality of compartments or dividers. Each planar tier or compartment may hold a plurality of products for display to customers in retail stores or warehouses. In many cases, the planar tiers of the pallet system are only held together by their own weight, glue, or by interlocking notches or slots in the tiers or compartments. Because of the number of panels associated with forming pallets, it is often difficult to form pallets uniformly, making formation very cumbersome. Additionally, many of the available pallet systems are unattractive and may negatively impact consumer purchasing decisions.
- Retailers may also desire that their pallet systems have an appearance that attracts customers to the display, thereby increasing the chances of purchase.
- some pallet systems may include graphics panels to indicate to the consumer the nature of the products displayed in the pallet or to attract customers to the displayed product.
- these graphics panels have been glued, stapled or otherwise directly affixed to the product trays.
- the trays may settle or compact somewhat due to the weight of the trays and products.
- the graphics panel may become bent, distorted, or otherwise damaged.
- the top edges of a typical pallet tray are not level with one another.
- the tray back is often formed by folding the portions of the blank corrugated board forming the back of the tray over portions of the blank board forming the sides. Because the back portions are folded over the sides, the backs of typical trays extend slightly higher on the sides and front of the trays.
- Embodiments of the present invention generally include pallet systems for holding and displaying products.
- the pallet system may include a number of pallet trays (which may be stacked one to a level, two to a level, four to a level, or in other arrangements), a tie sheet for securing the trays of a level together, and one or more graphics panels that display information related to the product held and displayed in the pallet system, or other types of graphics.
- the pallet system may also have a number of additional features generally intended to give it an attractive appearance at the point of sale and to increase its durability.
- a pallet system tray may include top surfaces that are level with one another.
- the tray may include top surfaces of the tray sides and backs that abut one another to define a level surface to stack additional trays on.
- these top surfaces may be joined at a miter joint.
- the pallet system may also include a tie sheet to facilitate orderly stacking of the trays and/or prevent the trays from spreading apart from one another after being stacked.
- the tie sheet may include tabs and/or slots that interact with tabs and/or slots on the pallet system trays to lock them together.
- the pallet system may also include a graphics panel that may not distort or otherwise become damaged as the pallet trays settle.
- the graphics panel is only secured to the topmost trays of the pallet and can move independently of the lower trays, such that graphics panel will “float” with respect to the other trays and not become distorted as the pallet settles or compresses due to the weight of the displayed items.
- the graphics panels may be secured to the topmost trays by the interaction of a tab with a slot.
- the graphics panel may also include a blade that aligns the graphics panel with respect to the lower trays, yet allows the graphics panel to slide with respect to those trays as they settle or compact.

Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Serial Application No. 60/788,263, filed Mar. 31, 2006 and entitled “Improved Pallet System for Product Display,” the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by this reference.
- Embodiments of the present invention relate to a pallet system for displaying products.
- Pallet systems that house and display products in retail stores or the like at the point of sale are well known. Retailers use such systems to reduce the costs of shipping, stocking and displaying products with such costs-savings being passed on to the consumer. Retail pallet systems are generally made of flat paperboard or corrugated board that can be folded or assembled into free standing structures with trays with planar bases and panels. The folding of the panels is made possible through the use of pre-manufactured score lines or separation lines along the paperboard or corrugated board.
- Pallet systems generally have a plurality of planar tiers with a plurality of compartments or dividers. Each planar tier or compartment may hold a plurality of products for display to customers in retail stores or warehouses. In many cases, the planar tiers of the pallet system are only held together by their own weight, glue, or by interlocking notches or slots in the tiers or compartments. Because of the number of panels associated with forming pallets, it is often difficult to form pallets uniformly, making formation very cumbersome. Additionally, many of the available pallet systems are unattractive and may negatively impact consumer purchasing decisions.
- Retailers may also desire that their pallet systems have an appearance that attracts customers to the display, thereby increasing the chances of purchase. For instance, some pallet systems may include graphics panels to indicate to the consumer the nature of the products displayed in the pallet or to attract customers to the displayed product. Typically, these graphics panels have been glued, stapled or otherwise directly affixed to the product trays. In use, the trays may settle or compact somewhat due to the weight of the trays and products. Problematically, as the trays settle or compact, the graphics panel may become bent, distorted, or otherwise damaged.
- Another problem with some pallet systems is that the product trays used with them do not allow for level stacking, which may also cause the display to be less visually attractive. The top edges of a typical pallet tray are not level with one another. For instance, the tray back is often formed by folding the portions of the blank corrugated board forming the back of the tray over portions of the blank board forming the sides. Because the back portions are folded over the sides, the backs of typical trays extend slightly higher on the sides and front of the trays.
- Embodiments of the present invention generally include pallet systems for holding and displaying products. In some embodiments of the invention, the pallet system may include a number of pallet trays (which may be stacked one to a level, two to a level, four to a level, or in other arrangements), a tie sheet for securing the trays of a level together, and one or more graphics panels that display information related to the product held and displayed in the pallet system, or other types of graphics. The pallet system may also have a number of additional features generally intended to give it an attractive appearance at the point of sale and to increase its durability.
- In certain embodiments of the invention, a pallet system tray may include top surfaces that are level with one another. For instance, the tray may include top surfaces of the tray sides and backs that abut one another to define a level surface to stack additional trays on. In some embodiments, these top surfaces may be joined at a miter joint.
- In these or other embodiments, the pallet system may also include a tie sheet to facilitate orderly stacking of the trays and/or prevent the trays from spreading apart from one another after being stacked. In some embodiments, the tie sheet may include tabs and/or slots that interact with tabs and/or slots on the pallet system trays to lock them together.
- In these or other embodiments, the pallet system may also include a graphics panel that may not distort or otherwise become damaged as the pallet trays settle. For instance, in some embodiments, the graphics panel is only secured to the topmost trays of the pallet and can move independently of the lower trays, such that graphics panel will “float” with respect to the other trays and not become distorted as the pallet settles or compresses due to the weight of the displayed items. In some embodiments, the graphics panels may be secured to the topmost trays by the interaction of a tab with a slot. The graphics panel may also include a blade that aligns the graphics panel with respect to the lower trays, yet allows the graphics panel to slide with respect to those trays as they settle or compact.
