Display Stands
Printed counter and floor display stands in cardboard and high-density PVC that hold product at the point of sale.
Display stands here are built in two materials. Two-layer cardboard counter units are printed flat, die-cut, creased and shipped knocked down, so a retail buyer assembles them on the shop floor without tools. The 3D embossed PVC desktop pieces use a high-density board that holds a raised, durable surface and stays rigid on a counter that gets handled all day. Printing is offset or UV for the graphics and screen printing where solid colour has to sit on plastic. The decisions are how much product weight the shelf must carry, how the unit packs and ships flat, and whether it lives for one promotion or a full season.

What This Solves and Who Buys It
Problems It Solves
- A display that collapses under stock loses the listing; shelf count and product weight are fixed before the structure is cut.
- Assembled stands are expensive to ship, so cardboard units are designed to fold flat and be built in store.
- Short promotional runs get refused by suppliers with high minimums; the two-layer cardboard stand is offered with no MOQ.
- Counter displays take constant handling, which is why the PVC option uses high-density new material rather than thin sheet.
- Pack shots printed on a stand have to match the packaging beside it, so colour is checked by hand against the approved artwork.
Who Buys It
- Brand owners launching a product into supermarket or pharmacy counters
- Retail chains briefing a seasonal in-store promotion across many sites
- Distributors giving stockists a branded counter unit with their range on it
- Exhibition and event contractors needing desktop displays for a stand
- Cosmetics and confectionery brands selling small, high-turnover items at the till
Where It Is Used
- A two-layer counter unit holding sachets or small cartons at a pharmacy till
- A desktop PVC display on a distributor's sales counter
- A seasonal promotion unit rolled out across a retail chain
- A product demo stand on an exhibition table
- A dealer counter display holding leaflets and a sample product
Why Order It Here
- Offset and UV printing plus automatic pit mounting sit in one building, so the printed face and the corrugated backing are laminated in house.
- Laser cutting handles shaped headers and cut-out windows without an outside die shop on short runs.
- Screen printing covers solid colour on PVC, which digital alone does not hold as evenly on plastic.
- Digital printing turns a structural mock-up around in 1-2 working days so the shelf depth can be tested with real product.
- Hard copy digital proofs and mock-ups are available on request, which is the only honest way to sign off a three-dimensional unit.
Decisions to Make Before You Order
Load and Shelf Count
Tell us the product, its weight and how many facings per shelf. That determines the board grade and whether a two-layer counter unit is enough or the structure needs reinforcing. Guessing here is what makes shelves sag in week two.
Cardboard or High-density PVC
Cardboard is cheaper, ships flat and suits a defined promotion. High-density PVC with a 3D embossed face is heavier and holds up to daily handling, so it suits a permanent counter position. Choose on lifespan, not on price alone.
Flat Pack and Assembly
Decide whether the unit arrives assembled or knocked down. Knocked down cuts freight and lets staff build it in store, but the creasing and locking tabs have to be designed for it from the start.
Artwork and Mock-up
Supply PDF or AI at 300dpi with fonts outlined and allow for the fold lines. Ask for a hard copy mock-up before the run so you can load real product into it and check the shelf depth.

Display Stands Questions
Is there a minimum order on display stands?
The two-layer cardboard product display stand is offered with no MOQ, so a single test unit or a small promotional run is possible. Minimums on other structures vary, so ask against your design.
Do the stands ship assembled?
Cardboard units normally ship flat and are assembled in store, which keeps freight down. Say so at quotation if you need them pre-assembled, because the structure and the carton are designed differently.
Can I get a mock-up before committing?
Yes. Hard copy digital proofs and mock-ups are available on request, and a digital sample can be produced in 1-2 working days so you can test the unit with real product.
What is the difference between the PVC and cardboard versions?
The PVC desktop piece uses high-density new material with a 3D embossed face and is built to survive repeated handling. Cardboard is lighter and cheaper, ships flat, and suits a fixed-length promotion.
How long does a display stand order take?
A regular commercial offset run is 4-5 working days and large quantities 10-12 working days, with die-cutting, mounting and gluing included. Sea shipping adds 15-18 days, air 3-4.
