Custom Display Boxes

Display boxes are the display itself (sit on counter/shelf/floor); shipping boxes protect products in transit.

Display boxes are POP (Point of Purchase) displays — printed corrugated structures that sit on a counter, shelf, or floor and act as both display and billboard for the brand. Shipping boxes are RSC cartons that protect products in transit — they are not designed to be displayed. Display boxes ship flat and erect at the retail store; shipping boxes ship sealed and are discarded at the fulfillment center.

Counter (10–30 units) for checkout impulse; shelf (6–24 units) for grocery/drug; floor (50–200 units) for club/big-box.

Counter displays sit on a checkout counter and hold 10–30 units — the format for impulse-buy categories (snacks, lip balm, gum). Shelf displays sit on a retail shelf and hold 6–24 units — the format for grocery and drug channels. Floor displays stand on the floor and hold 50–200 units — the format for club stores (Costco, Sam's) and big-box retail. Choose based on the retail channel and the number of units you want to display.

Displays ship flat and erect in 30 seconds to 5 minutes at the retail store.

Displays ship flat to save freight volume. A store associate erects the display at the shelf in 30 seconds (counter display) to 5 minutes (floor display). Most displays use crash-lock bottoms (auto-erect) or tuck-tab construction (no tools required). For floor displays, we include a single-page visual setup guide in English. Custom dielines can reduce setup time if your retailer has specific requirements.

Yes — 7–10 business days for a printed sample, 5–7 for a white sample.

We provide white samples (unprinted, exact construction) in 5–7 business days and printed samples (your artwork, finish, and color) in 7–10 business days. Sample fees are credited back against your production order. For display boxes, the white sample is critical — it confirms the structural dieline, the erect action, and the product fit, none of which can be evaluated from a render alone.

Flat — display boxes ship flat and erect at the retail store.

Display boxes ship flat to save freight volume (a flat-packed display takes 5–10× less freight volume than pre-assembled). The store associate erects the display at the shelf. Pre-assembled shipping is available for high-value retail programs where store labor is limited — expect 5–10× higher freight volume and cost.

Yes — corrugated is the most-recycled packaging material globally (90%+ recycling rate).

Corrugated board is curbside-recyclable in standard paper streams. After the promotion ends, the display breaks down flat for recycling. If you choose a litho-lam wrap with foil or lamination, recyclability is reduced — check with your local recycler. For brands making a sustainability claim, choose FSC-certified board, water-based ink, and skip foil. We supply chain-of-custody documentation for all FSC-certified projects.

10–15 business days after sample approval.

Standard production runs 10–15 business days after sample approval. Litho-lam printing and custom dielines add a few days versus standard RSC cartons. Air freight (5–7 days) is available for urgent launches; sea freight (28–35 days) is standard and most economical. Sample production runs in parallel with the first week of bulk production.
