         4 . The container according to  any of the preceding claims , wherein the foot is substantially perpendicular to the bottom wall. 
     
     
         5 . The container according to  any of the preceding claims , further comprising a first side connecting portion connected to the first side wall and a second side connecting portion connected to the second side wall, wherein each of the first and second side connecting portions is spaced apart from the rear wall and attached to the front wall. 
     
     
         6 . The container according to  any of the preceding claims , further comprising a top wall disposed opposite to the bottom wall and connected to the rear wall, the first side wall and the second side wall, and a top connecting portion connected to the top wall, wherein the top connecting portion is attached to the front wall. 
     
     
         7 . The container according to  any of the preceding claims , wherein each of the first and second side walls extends substantially perpendicular to the rear wall and bottom wall. 
     
     
         8 . The container according to  any of the preceding claims , further comprising a third support comprising a portion of the rear wall and being spaced apart from the first and second supports. 
     
     
         9 . The container according to  claim 8 , wherein the container comprises at least two products therein. 
     
     
         10 . The container according to  any of the preceding claims  further comprising a fourth support comprising a portion of the rear wall and being spaced apart from the first, second and third supports. 
     
     
         11 . The container according to  claim 10 , wherein the container comprises at least three products therein. 
     
     
         12 . The container according to  any of the preceding claims , wherein the front wall defines at least one front cutout extending therethrough, the at least one front cutout at least partially receiving the at least one product therein. 
     
     
         13 . The container according to  claim 12 , wherein the rear wall defines at least one rear cutout extending therethrough and at least partially aligned with the at least one front cutout. 
     
     
         14 . The container according to  claim 13 , wherein the at least one front cutout has a first surface area and the at least one rear cutout has a second surface area, wherein the first surface area is greater than the second surface area. 
     
     
         15 . The container according to  any of the preceding claims , wherein the front wall, the rear wall, the bottom wall, and the second foot region form a single unitary component, such that the second foot region is foldably connected to the lower end of the front wall. 
     
     
         16 . The container according to any of  claims 1 through 14 , where in the front portion and the rear portion comprise discrete components.
