 (a) a front panel with side flaps that do not extend beyond the width of a side panel;   (b) a back panel;   (c) a side panel;   (d) a series of additional panels comprising a bottom panel, a front lip, and a platform panel that are adapted to be folded upon themselves to collectively form a display base;   (e) a center easel support structure having a base panel, a middle panel and an insert panel that are adapted to be folded upon themselves to form a center easel to support the display; and   (f) a series of product dividers.   
     
     
         8 . The display device of  claim 7 , wherein the side flaps do not extend beyond the length of the side panel or to the bottom panel. 
     
     
         9 . The display device of  claim 7 , wherein the series of additional panels further comprises a tuck panel adapted to be tucked under the display base for support. 
     
     
         10 . The display device of  claim 7 , wherein the back panel comprises one or more slots for receiving one or more tabs from one of the series of additional panels. 
     
     
         11 . The display device of  claim 7 , wherein the dividers are folded out by separating the perforated portion and folding the dividers out along the fold line. 
     
     
         12 . A gravity feed display device, comprising:
 (a) a front panel with side flaps that do not extend beyond the width of a side panel;   (b) a back panel;   (c) a side panel;   (d) a series of additional panels comprising a bottom panel, a front lip, and a platform panel that are adapted to be folded upon themselves to collectively form a display base;   (e) a side easel support structure extending from a side panel and formed from the back panel and the bottom panel to support the display; and   (f) a series of dividers that are folded to form product dividers.   
     
     
         13 . The display device of  claim 12 , wherein the at least one side flap does not extend beyond the length of the side panel or to the bottom panel. 
     
     
         14 . The display device of  claim 12 , wherein the series of additional panels further comprises a tuck panel adapted to be tucked under the display base for support. 
     
     
         15 . The display device of  claim 12 , wherein the back panel comprises one or more slots for receiving one or more tabs from one of the series of additional panels. 
     
     
         16 . The display device of  claim 12 , wherein the dividers are activated by separating the perforated portion and folding the dividers out along the fold line. 
     
     
         17 . A method for forming a gravity feed display device, comprising:
 (a) providing a blank, the blank comprising:
 (i) a front panel with at least one side flap that does not extend beyond the width of a side panel; 
 (ii) a back panel; 
 (iii) a side panel; 
   (b) folding and securing the front panel with at least one side flap to the side panel;   (c) forming a display base comprising a bottom panel, a front lip, and a platform panel;   (d) providing an insert comprising dividers, a perforated portion and fold lines; and   (e) inserting the insert onto the back panel after the display base is formed.
