June 11, 2026. Mark your calendars. The FIFA World Cup is hitting the US, Mexico, and Canada, and it’s going to be absolutely massive. Fans are already buzzing. If you’re a brand, you can’t just sit on the sidelines. You need to get your products right in front of people where they shop.
At Holidaypac, we’ve spent 18 years making cardboard display stands that actually work. We don't just make boxes; we make people stop in their tracks. We’ve been thinking about how to bring that soccer magic to the retail aisle.
Check out these five ways we’re helping brands win the 2026 hype.
Imagine walking into a supermarket and seeing a 1:1 scale soccer goal right in the middle of the aisle. It’s not a dream. Our "Goalpost" combo display uses a realistic crossbar design at the top to grab attention from across the store.
We customize the side panels with the flags of the host nations or whatever teams are playing that week. It’s big. It’s bold. Honestly, it’s a crowd-puller that turns a boring shopping trip into a pre-game event.
Everyone loves a good countdown. We decided to take the classic cardboard stand and kick it up a notch. We’ve embedded a low-power digital timer right into the header.
It counts down the days, hours, and minutes until kickoff. The best part? It’s made from 100% recyclable paper. FIFA is going big on sustainability for 2026, and this stand fits that vibe perfectly. You get the tech without the environmental guilt.
Beer and soccer are the ultimate team. For energy drink and beer brands, a square shelf just doesn't cut it anymore. We use custom die-cutting to shape our displays into giant World Cup trophies or massive soccer balls.
When a fan sees a stack of their favorite brew sitting inside a 6-foot-tall golden trophy, they’re going to grab a pack. It’s that simple. We make sure the cardboard is sturdy enough to hold the weight while looking like a piece of art.
Collectors are going to go crazy for this one. We designed a premium display box for signature soccer balls that feels like a piece of the stadium. The base features a patch of realistic fake grass—it’s like the ball just landed on the pitch.
We even use laser engraving to etch the coordinates of the 2026 match stadiums onto the edges. It’s a high-end feel for a material as simple as cardboard. It’s a must-have for any brand selling official memorabilia.
Trading cards are back in a big way. We created a modular, magnetic display system that lets fans build their own "Dream Team" wall. Each individual card box has magnetic edges.
Customers can buy one or buy twenty and snap them all together to create a giant lineup wall. It encourages people to keep coming back to your store to finish their collection. It’s fun, it’s interactive, and it’s totally addictive.
18 years in the game means we’ve seen it all, but 2026 is going to be special. You don't want to be the brand that waited too long to plan. Our team at Holidaypac is ready to help you design, print, and ship displays that score.
