(54) A display system


(57) A display system for freezer cabinets has a number of open topped plastics display bins (1) arranged within the freezer cabinet subdividing the freezer cabinet into a number of smaller display compartments each containing products for sale. Each bin (1) has a number of sidewall ventilation openings (12) to provide good air circulation through the bin (1). Drainage holes in a base of the bin (1) prevent moisture build-up in the bin (1). Outwardly projecting ribs (18) are provided on the sidewalls (6, 7, 8, 9) to keep sidewalls of adjacent bins apart when mounted in the cabinet promoting good air circulation around the bins (1) for optimum cooling and minimising frost build-up.
