PDQ display box
A PDQ display box is a printed cardboard box that ships closed with product inside and opens into a counter display: the lid folds up as a header and the front shows the packs.
It suits small packs sold near the checkout and retail programs such as Walmart, Sam’s Club and Costco. The box protects the product in transit and becomes the display in store, with no extra parts.
How it works
Open the box, fold the lid up behind the product and it stands as a printed header. A low, angled front lets shoppers see and take each pack.
Printing and finishes
We print in full color, with gloss or matte lamination and options such as holographic board, so the box stands out on a crowded counter.
Common finishes include gloss or matte lamination, spot UV, embossing and hot stamping. We recommend the finish that suits the store environment and your budget.
Materials
Our standard PDQ board is CCNB with corrugated B flute: a smooth white printing surface on a stiff fluted core, so the tray stays square when loaded and stacked.
Holidaypac is FSC® certified, and FSC®-certified board is available for your display on request.
