Custom display boxes are designed to hold, organize, and present products while keeping branding visible throughout the display.
Unlike ordinary cartons, display packaging is developed around how customers need to see and access the products. The box may position items upright, in rows, on stepped levels, inside fitted openings, hanging from hooks, or moving through a dispensing channel.
The structure can be customized according to individual product dimensions, combined weight, number of units, display orientation, and available counter, shelf, or floor space.

Countertop Display Boxes
Countertop displays use a compact footprint to present products on checkout counters, promotional tables, service desks, and other limited spaces.
The structure can include a low front rail, side walls, product dividers, and a raised header.
Small cosmetics, stationery, accessories, confectionery, samples, and promotional products can be arranged in single or multiple rows depending on the product dimensions.
PDQ and Open-Front Displays
PDQ display boxes are designed so products can arrive already organized within the display structure.
Open-front designs keep the products clearly visible and allow customers to remove individual units without dismantling the packaging.
The front opening may be straight, angled, curved, stepped, or custom die-cut around the product arrangement.
Display Trays
Display trays use low front walls with higher side or rear sections to keep products organized while maintaining visibility.
They can be designed for bottles, jars, cartons, pouches, tubes, and other individually packaged merchandise.
Internal dividers can separate different flavors, shades, sizes, models, or product variations.
Tiered Display Boxes
Tiered displays position products at different heights so items in the rear remain visible behind the front row.
Possible layouts include two-level, three-level, stepped, or custom-height platforms.
This structure works particularly well when several variations from the same product family need to appear together without hiding one another.
Dispenser and Gravity-Feed Displays
Dispenser displays allow products to be removed from a controlled opening.
Gravity-feed structures use an angled or vertical channel that helps move the next product toward the opening as units are removed.
Internal ramps, guide walls, front stops, and separate product lanes can be incorporated according to the size and shape of the packaged products.
Shelf-Ready Display Boxes
Shelf-ready structures can use removable or perforated sections that reveal an organized product tray.
Options can include tear-away front panels, removable covers, product-retaining lips, dividers, and printed setup areas.
The remaining display should continue supporting the merchandise after the outer section is removed and as product levels decrease.
Floor Display Structures
Larger custom product displays can be designed as freestanding floor units.
These structures may include:
- Multiple shelves
- Product trays
- Side wings
- Large header panels
- Brochure pockets
- Hanging sections
- Reinforced bases
- Removable product compartments
Corrugated board and reinforced paper-based components are typically more appropriate when the display footprint and combined product load become larger.
Materials for Display Packaging
Material selection should follow the product load and display construction.
| Material | Recommended Use |
|---|---|
| SBS Paperboard | Small displays with detailed printed graphics |
| Folding Box Board | Lightweight countertop and tray structures |
| White Kraft Board | Bright branded display packaging |
| Natural Kraft Board | Minimal or natural-style displays |
| E-Flute Corrugated | Counter displays requiring additional rigidity |
| B-Flute Corrugated | Larger trays and heavier product assortments |
| Double-Wall Corrugated | Selected large floor-standing structures |
| Honeycomb Board | Reinforced shelves, bases and structural sections |
The final board grade should be selected around the combined product weight, display dimensions, shelf span, and internal construction.
Product Dividers, Wells and Channels
Internal components help keep products aligned even as customers remove individual units.
Options can include:
- Straight dividers
- Angled product channels
- Die-cut bottle wells
- Tube openings
- Raised platforms
- Stepped inserts
- Individual compartments
- Corrugated partitions
- Product-retaining tabs
A bottle display may use fitted circular openings, while packaged cartons may only require divided lanes.
Display Headers and Promotional Panels
Raised headers provide visible branding above the products.
Header designs can be rectangular, curved, angled, stepped, contour-cut, logo-shaped, or based on the product silhouette.
They can display logos, product names, promotional artwork, product benefits, QR codes, campaign graphics, or other information.
Front rails and side panels can carry supporting graphics so branding remains visible even when the display is partially empty.
Custom Printed Display Boxes
Custom printed display boxes can coordinate the display with the packaging of the individual products.
Printing may cover:
- Display headers
- Front rails
- Side walls
- Rear panels
- Interior bases
- Shelves
- Dividers
- Product platforms
CMYK and Pantone printing can support branded artwork, while corrugated displays can use printing methods appropriate to the selected board construction.

Designing the Right Display Structure
The best display begins with the actual packaged product.
Its dimensions determine compartment and opening sizes. Combined weight influences material and base construction. Product quantity controls overall capacity, while the merchandising arrangement determines whether the design needs tiers, channels, wells, shelves, hooks, or dispensing features.
Designing these elements together creates custom display packaging that remains organized and visually effective throughout use.
Yes. Provide the product width, height, depth, unit weight and number of products required in each display.
Yes. Logos, full-color graphics, product information, offers, barcodes and QR codes can be printed on the header, front rail, sides and interior components.
Yes. Displays can include divided channels, bottle wells, tube openings, stepped platforms, shelves and removable inserts.
A PDQ display is commonly prepared for quick retail placement, while shelf-ready packaging may function as both a shipping case and a retail-facing tray. The exact structure can combine both functions.
Selected structures may be designed as prepacked shipping displays. The complete filled package should be reviewed for transit strength and retailer requirements.
