No game or inserts would accompany these (unless from a Nintendo employee like Jonebone has)
These boxes would sit on top of the racks of stores like Babbages, Electronics Boutiques, etc to showcase a new release

Actually they would go on wall displays not racks

they would go in both those displays and on shelves/racks.

I actually have a For Display Box with a matching NFR cart up on ebay now. Bought it from a former Nintendo employee years ago. Not sure if they pieced it together but it was sold to me this way.

Alright so I recently got a lot of empty Game Boy boxes and noticed a few had red "For Display Only" stickers on them, didn't think much of it at first but then I realized the Star Wars ones didn't actually have stickers but instead the red "FOR DISPLAY ONLY" strip was printed into the art itself...I couldn't find any info at all on any of these online so I tossed one of the Star Wars boxes on eBay to see what would happen, ended up getting $70 for it...so that's neat, but ultimately this thread is not to discuss value but more so just to see if anyone has any info on these things? I would assume they were issued by Nintendo for store display copies but does that mean the not for resale carts accompanied them? Does anyone know what stores got them? Was it exclusive to a Blockbuster (half joking)? What other games got the For Display Only treatment? Mostly just curious...thanks. Pic attached.
The way I understand it as I have a couple sets of the SNES boxes around 23 total I think, is that they were 3rd party licensed boxes and official. Nice stuff. I havent really seen GB ones before so pretty cool.
