PDQ display tray
A PDQ display tray is an open-top cardboard tray with a low front that holds products in one neat block on a shelf or pallet, with a printed front panel for your brand or offer.
The angled sides let shoppers see and reach every item, while the front panel carries a price flash, promo word or logo. It suits loose or boxed products such as snacks, personal care items and small household goods.
How it works
The tray shown has a teal body and a yellow front corner panel for a “save” message. Size is matched to your product and shelf depth, so trays sit side by side without gaps.
Printing and finishes
Print in full CMYK, Pantone spot colors or a natural kraft look, with clear zones on the front for price flashes, promo words or retailer labels.
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.
