Custom Kraft Display Boxes That Turn Shelves Into Sales Tools
Retail success depends on visibility. Custom kraft display boxes are designed to position your products at the point of decision, turning a standard shelf or countertop into an active selling surface. At Teal Packaging, we produce branded kraft display packaging starting at 50 units, with free design support, a two-week turnaround, and free shipping to the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. From point-of-sale countertop trays to full floor-standing shipper displays, our kraft display solutions combine structural integrity with print quality that commands attention from across the aisle.
Kraft material is increasingly the preferred substrate for retail display packaging. Its natural brown surface signals sustainability to shoppers, photographs well for in-store marketing materials, and provides a strong printing base for full-color brand graphics. Brands that use kraft display boxes consistently report better shelf presence and stronger alignment with today's eco-conscious retail environment.
Materials and Construction
Our custom kraft display boxes are available in both paperboard and corrugated constructions depending on the display's size, product weight, and intended retail environment:
- 300 gsm kraft paperboard: Ideal for small countertop display trays, PDQ trays, and single-product shelf displays. Clean fold lines and excellent print surface.
- 350 gsm kraft paperboard: Used for larger countertop displays and self-standing shelf units that need to maintain their form under the weight of multiple products.
- B-flute corrugated kraft (3mm): The standard for floor-standing display units (FSDUs) and shipper displays. Offers a smooth outer surface suitable for high-quality flexographic printing while providing structural load-bearing capacity.
- C-flute corrugated kraft (4mm): Heavier-duty corrugated option for larger FSDUs, pallet displays, and displays holding heavier product weights.
- BC double-wall corrugated (7mm): Maximum strength for heavy products and multi-tier display configurations in high-traffic retail environments.
All materials are FSC-certified and printed using soy-based inks for full recyclability and sustainable supply chain credentials. Finishing options include matte and gloss lamination for paperboard displays and water-resistant coatings for corrugated units deployed in grocery or refrigerated retail sections.
Customization Options
Every kraft retail display box we produce is fully configurable for your brand and product category:
- Display type: Countertop PDQ trays, shelf-ready packaging (SRP), floor-standing display units, gravity-feed bins, and pallet displays.
- Header cards: Tall printed header panels above product slots carry brand messaging, promotional copy, and QR codes at eye level.
- Product pockets: Individual die-cut product slots or open shelf configurations to display items face-forward for maximum visibility.
- Full-color printing: CMYK on all outer surfaces. Pantone matching available for brand-critical colors.

Sustainability
Retail display packaging historically contributed to significant material waste. Our custom kraft display boxes are designed to change that:
- FSC-certified kraft board and corrugated: Full chain-of-custody certification from forest to finished display.
- Soy-based inks: Lower emissions, better recyclability, and no loss of print quality compared to petroleum alternatives.
- Recyclable in-store: Kraft corrugated displays are accepted for cardboard recycling by most major retailers, reducing in-store waste disposal cost.
- Reduced plastic: Our kraft display units eliminate the need for plastic display stands and acrylic shelf risers that traditionally cannot be recycled alongside cardboard.
Retailers are increasingly requiring suppliers to use sustainable display materials. Kraft corrugated displays meet most retailer sustainability requirements and can be documented with our FSC certificates for your vendor compliance submissions.
Brands building a complete sustainable packaging suite should also explore our custom retail boxes for the individual product packaging that sits inside your display units.
