Q:

What are custom display boxes?

A:

Display boxes are an ideal solution for showcasing products at mall and store point of sale stations. Ideally, display boxes are placed next to checkout counters to gain maximum customer attention. In addition to carrying products, display boxes also serve as a powerful marketing tool when designed thoughtfully. Based on your specific requirements, these custom-printed boxes are often produced using carboard (made from white or kraft substrate materials) and corrugated stocks in custom shapes and sizes.


Q:

What is the purpose of a 'header tab'?

A:

The term 'header tab' refers to the extended part of the back wall of a display box. This extended section allows additional room for printed content and graphics. Typically, the most important marketing and product focused content is often placed on this tab for maximum visibility. A header tab can be cut to a custom shape or design to make it unique. Header tabs can also have custom cut lines, perforation lines, and custom shaped die cut holes to meet a wide range of specific branding and display requirements.


Q:

What type of inserts can be ordered to accompany display boxes?

A:

A wide variety of purpose-specific purpose-specific inserts can be added to a display box order. By utilizing custom cut lines and holes, these inserts can be custom designed to form compartments in order to display and hold products of varying dimensions. For better visibility of products that are placed in the back rows of a display box, inserts can also be designed to incorporate elevated steps.


Q:

Is there a minimum order quantity for custom printed display boxes?

A:

No, there is no minimum order for custom printed display boxes. You can order as few boxes as you like. Ordering a few boxes is perfect if you would like a sample to check out before committing to a larger order. However, due to initial costs involved in setting up a print job, ordering bigger quantities will typically result in a lower per unit cost. Your account representative can help you find the most efficient solution in order to keep your total project costs low.


Q:

How do I measure the length, width, and height of my custom printed display boxes?

A:

With the box open toward you, here is how to get the correct measurements for the inside of the box:

The length is measured from the left to right side of the box.
The width is measured from the front to the back side of the box.
The height is measured from the top to the bottom side of the box


Q:

The proof for my product boxes looks blurry. Will it print that way?

A:

No. The emailed proofs only show how the graphics align on the box. The final print is much sharper, as long as vector or high-resolution graphics have been used in your design file. You will be contacted if your graphics appear to be at too low a resolution. If you have any concerns, please feel free to ask us a question.


Q:

How long does it take to produce custom printed display boxes?

A:

Order for sample box can take 6-8 business days to produce depending on the complexity of the design.

Bulk orders of branded mailing boxes, printed customized shipping boxes, and custom printed display boxes take approximately 10-12 business days to print.

Shipping transit time is in an additional 3-4 business days. Please note that these are approximate production times and can vary depending on the complexity of the design and load on our production facilities.

Uses and Benefits of Custom Printed Display Boxes

Custom display boxes, also known as counter display boxes, are purpose-built packaging units designed to hold, organize, and visually present your products. You’ll typically find them at checkout counters, retail shelves, cash wrap areas, storefront displays, reception desks, and trade show booths.

In modern retail, customers rarely walk in looking for small, low-cost, or impulse-buy items; they notice what captures their attention. Custom display boxes bridge that gap. When engineered correctly, branded display packaging works as a low-cost retail merchandiser that reinforces branding, improves product visibility, and directly increases sell-through rates. With measurable improvements like higher impulse purchases, faster shelf restocking, and better SKU organization, display packaging becomes a revenue tool, not just a container.

Below is a deep dive into practical industry applications, measurable benefits, and trending display box styles.

Industries Boosting Sales with Counter & Shelf Display Boxes

  1. Food & Confectionery: Small edible items like chocolate bars, protein snacks, mints, and mini packs are classic impulse-buy products. POS display boxes placed at POS systems can increase last-minute purchases by 15-35%, especially when paired with bold graphics and structured placement.
  2. Cosmetics & Beauty Retail: Beauty shoppers respond to color, visibility, and easy trial access. Cosmetics display boxes help lipsticks, nail polish, and travel-sized skincare stay upright, organized, and appealing, boosting browsing convenience and reducing product loss or misplacement. Beauty brands often report a 20-40% increase in pickup rates when using custom cosmetic display boxes.
  3. Electronics Accessories: Small electronics, earbuds, chargers, batteries, flash drives, tend to get lost on busy shelves. Point-of-purchase (POP) display boxes or hanging displays dramatically increase visibility and improve findability, helping brands reduce shelf clutter and increase unit sales.
  4. Health & Wellness: In pharmacies, supplement bottles, sachets, essential oil vials, and sample packets compete for attention. Display packaging makes products look organized, credible, and easy to compare. Brands that adopt display units often see better facings and longer shelf dwell time.

Key Benefits of Custom Display Boxes

Designed to showcase products front and center, they enhance visibility, organize merchandise, and influence last-minute purchase decisions at checkout counters, retail shelves, and point-of-purchase (POP) displays.

  • Increased Shelf Visibility: A strategic display box can significantly elevate shelf presence by grouping products in a structured, visually cohesive format. Bright brand-themed printing helps your products stand out and capture attention even in cluttered aisles.
  • Higher Impulse Purchases: More than 70% of impulse purchases happen at checkout counters. Well-placed display boxes help encourage add-on buys from undecided customers, last-minute shoppers, and even loyal buyers looking for something small to add to their basket.
  • Better Organization & Product Arrangement: Display packaging keeps merchandise upright, prevents clutter, and delivers a clean, professional look. Retailers prefer brands that provide shelf-ready packaging because it reduces labor, speeds restocking, and increases the chance of getting premium shelf placement.
  • Versatile for Many Product Types: Display boxes are designed to hold bottles, tubes, bars, stand-up food pouches, electronic gadgets, candy, and more. This versatility allows product manufacturers to maintain a consistent brand system across multiple SKUs, reducing complexity and improving visual standards.
  • Highly Customizable for Branding: Custom-printed display packaging supports premium upgrades, embossing, debossing, foil, spot UV, soft-touch finishes, die-cut windows, and custom inserts. These features enhance perceived value and help brands justify higher price points.

Most Effective Display Box Styles for Retail Brands

Display boxes come in a variety of styles, each engineered to highlight products, increase visibility, and support retail presentation. From compact counter displays to gravity-feed units that encourage continuous interaction, every structure serves a unique purpose in showcasing products effectively and boosting sales.

  1. Counter Display Boxes: Ideal for impulse-buy locations like checkout counters. Product manufacturers use them for candy, supplements, cosmetics, snacks, and stationery because they help products stay organized and accessible.
  2. Tear-Top Shelf Displays: Purpose-built tear-top shelf display boxes fulfill a dual purpose, as shipping boxes and display units. They are perfect for bars, sachets, tubes, and multi-pack products, helping retailers stock shelves quickly with minimal labor.
  3. POP Counter Trays: Great for premium or delicate items such as soaps, perfume samples, testers, and gift items. Point-of-purchase (POP) counter trays deliver an elegant, clutter-free presentation ideal for boutique-style merchandising.
  4. Gravity Feed Displays: Best for mints, mini boxes, and wrapped snacks. As customers pull items out, gravity keeps the front row filled, maintaining a consistently stocked appearance.
  5. Corrugated Floor Displays (Mini Versions): Ideal for heavier or mid-sized SKUs found in grocery, pharmacy, and electronics aisles. They offer heightened visibility without requiring a full-sized floor unit.

Custom display boxes are more than packaging; they are a silent salesperson, working 24/7 to attract customers, increase conversions, and strengthen your brand identity. From cosmetics to confectionery, stationery to supplements, the right display packaging can transform how customers perceive your product and elevate your retail success.
