Custom Display Boxes

Custom printed display boxes made to your size with no minimum order and US production. These are the counter and shelf displays that put your product at eye level and move it without a salesperson, printed full color and priced to beat what you are paying now.
Displays that do the selling for you
Counter display units for the checkout impulse buy, shelf ready trays that drop straight into a retail aisle, and floor standing displays for a bigger push. Add printed headers, tear away fronts, and dividers to hold product neat and facing forward. The whole point is that a shopper sees it, gets it, and buys it, so we build the graphics and the structure to work together.
Sturdy enough to hold a full load
A display is only good if it holds up loaded and does not sag by the end of the week. Tell us the product weight and how many facings you want, and we spec the board strength to carry it through the promotion.

A display box has to survive two lives, and the second one starts with someone tearing it open

Almost every counter display ships as a sealed shipper and becomes a display at the store. It travels full, stacked on a pallet, through a distribution center. Then a member of staff pulls a perforation, lifts a front panel away, and what is left has to look like a finished piece of merchandising.

That transition is where display boxes fail, and it fails in two directions. A perforation strong enough to survive the pallet is one nobody can open cleanly by hand, so it gets attacked with a box cutter and the front edge ends up ragged. A perforation weak enough to open easily opens somewhere in transit. Getting that line right is most of the engineering on this product, and it is the reason a display should be sampled and physically opened before it runs.

Store staff time is the real constraint

The thing brands underestimate is how little time a display gets. If it takes two minutes to convert, it goes out on the counter. If it takes ten, or it needs instructions, or it needs two people, it stays in the stockroom and your campaign quietly does not happen.

That is why an auto-bottom base is worth paying for on anything that holds weight: it locks into shape in one motion rather than needing four flaps folded in sequence. Every fold you remove from the assembly is a real increase in the number of displays that actually reach a shelf.

Design the inside, because the inside becomes the front

When the shipper opens, the inside of the back panel becomes the header your product sits against. It is prime visual real estate and it is routinely left blank because the artwork was designed as if for a closed box.

Print it. A logo, a product shot or a strong flat color on that panel is the difference between a display that looks designed and one that looks like a box with the top cut off.

Board is chosen for the display full, not empty

A counter unit holding two dozen units of anything is carrying real weight on its base and its front lip, and it carries that weight for weeks while people take from it. E flute prints beautifully and keeps the wall thin, which suits light products and detailed artwork. B flute gives noticeably more crush resistance and is the safer choice for heavier contents or a floor display that has to stand on its own.

Tell us the unit weight and how many the display holds. Those two numbers decide the board, and getting them wrong shows up as a base that sags in the middle by the second week.

Formats

Counter displaySits by the register. Small footprint, impulse purchase, usually holds a single line. The most common format and the one with the least space to fight for.
Shelf-readyOpens into a tray that goes straight onto the shelf as it is. Sold on the retailer time it saves, so its measurements have to match their shelf.
Floor displayStands alone in an aisle or an end cap. Holds far more, needs a genuinely stable base, and is the format most likely to need retailer approval before you make it.
Tray displayAn open tray, sometimes stacked. Simple, quick to convert, and it works for produce, bakery and anything shoppers pick over.
Hanger and power wingHangs from a hook or a side panel. Uses space nobody else is competing for, and the hanger tab has to be reinforced or it tears out under load.

Ask the retailer before you design

Most chains publish a specification for what they will accept on a counter or an end cap: a maximum footprint, a maximum height, sometimes a weight limit and a required assembly time. Ask for it before the design starts rather than after the run. A display that arrives half an inch too wide for the space is not a display; it is a pallet of boxes going back.

Display boxes by format

Counter and point of sale

Display boxes and custom display boxes are the general starting points. Counter display boxes sit by the register, and counter displays with an auto bottom lock into shape in one motion, which is the version store staff will actually put out. Tray display boxes and display lid boxes open into a tray that goes straight onto a shelf.

Pop-up display boxes ship flat and spring into shape, which removes almost all of the assembly time. Five-panel hanger boxes hang from a hook and use space nobody else is bidding for.

By what is being sold

Candy display boxes, cookie display boxes and food counter display boxes are built for impulse purchases at a counter, where the product is small and the decision takes two seconds.

Cosmetic display boxes carry more finishing, because the display is competing on presentation as much as on placement. Toy display boxes hold heavier, more awkward units and need the base specified accordingly.

Regulated products

Pharmaceutical display boxes, medicine display boxes and CBD display boxes need label area designed in from the start rather than fitted around artwork, and they are the products most likely to face a retailer specification.

Window formats

Window boxes, kraft window boxes and pillow window boxes put the product itself on show inside a closed box, which is a different way of solving the same problem: letting the shopper see what they are buying without opening anything.

Ordering

No minimum order, so a single-store trial or a seasonal campaign can be run without committing to a national rollout. Displays are built to your unit size and count rather than adapted from a fixed template. Design is free, samples are free, and shipping is free.

Order a sample and open it by hand before you approve the run. It is the only reliable way to test the perforation, and it takes a minute.

Questions buyers ask

What is a PDQ display?

PDQ stands for pretty darn quick, and it describes exactly what the format is for: a shipper that converts into a display in seconds rather than minutes. It arrives full, a panel tears away, and what is left merchandises the product. Counter PDQ units are the most common version.

Do display boxes arrive assembled?

They arrive as a filled or flat shipper, not as a built display. That is the point of the format — it protects the contents through the supply chain and then converts at the store. What varies is how much work the conversion takes, and that is a design decision you make when you order.

How many units should a counter display hold?

Enough that it does not look picked over after two sales, and few enough that a member of staff can lift it onto a counter with one hand. For most small impulse items that lands somewhere between a dozen and two dozen. If a retailer has given you a footprint, work backward from that instead.

What is the difference between a counter display and shelf-ready packaging?

A counter display is a standalone unit that sits wherever there is room. Shelf-ready packaging opens into a tray sized to slot into an existing shelf, and it is sold to the retailer on the stocking time it saves. Shelf-ready has to match their shelf dimensions; a counter display only has to fit the counter.

Will a retailer accept my display?

Ask them first. Most chains publish limits on footprint, height and sometimes weight and assembly time. Designing to their specification is straightforward; discovering it after a production run is not.

What types of packaging solutions do you offer?
Custom boxes and mailers, rigid and luxury boxes, retail and display packaging, mylar bags and pouches, and packaging built for food, cosmetics, CBD, coffee, candles and apparel. Everything is made to your size and printed with your artwork rather than picked from a stock range.
Yes, and it is the only thing we do. Send your product dimensions or a sample and we build the box around it, dieline included. If you are not sure which style suits the product, tell us what you ship and we will recommend one.
Kraft and corrugated board are widely recycled, and many of our box styles can be produced in unbleached kraft with no lamination, which is the most easily recycled combination. Laminates, foils and plastic linings all reduce recyclability. Tell us if that matters and we will specify the closest option and be straight with you about the trade off.
Request a free quote with your size, quantity and artwork, or just a description of what you ship. You get a quote and a free dieline, then a digital proof to approve. Nothing is printed until you approve the proof.
No. There is no minimum quantity and no minimum order fee, so a short first run and a full production run are both welcome. Free design, a free proof and free samples come with either.
