Custom Display Boxes: Counter, Floor, and POP Displays
Display boxes exist to sell. They sit at the point of purchase (countertops, endcaps, checkout lines, trade show tables) and their single job is to make products irresistible to grab. Teal Packaging designs and manufactures custom display boxes that maximize product visibility and drive impulse purchases.
Display Box Types
- Counter Display Boxes (CDUs): Small units that sit on checkout counters and retail countertops. Ideal for impulse items under $20: candy, lip balms, small accessories, and sample sizes.
- Floor Display Stands: Larger corrugated displays that stand on the floor. Quarter-pallet and half-pallet sizes for grocery, pharmacy, and mass retail.
- Sidekick Displays: Hang from retail shelf endcaps. Slim profile, high visibility for small products.
- Dump Bins: Open-top corrugated bins for loose products. High volume, low cost per impression.
- Tiered Displays: Multiple shelves for organizing product variants by size, flavor, or color.
- Power Wing Displays: Two-sided endcap displays that hang from shelf structures.
Design for Sales
Display box design is part engineering, part marketing. Key elements include an angled front lip (15 to 30 degrees) so customers can see and reach products, bold header card with brand messaging visible from 10+ feet, sturdy corrugated construction (B-flute or BC double-wall) that holds weight without sagging, easy-assembly design (pop-up in under 30 seconds, no tools), and graphic continuity with your retail packaging for a cohesive brand presence.
Industries
Confectionery and snacks, beauty and personal care, supplements and wellness, electronics accessories, pet products, beverages, toys, and seasonal/holiday merchandise. Display boxes are also essential for trade shows, pop-up shops, and farmers markets. Pair with branded stickers for price tags and promotional callouts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a CDU and a floor display?
A CDU (Counter Display Unit) is designed for countertops and holds small products. Floor displays are larger, free-standing units designed for floor placement in retail aisles or endcaps. CDUs hold 10 to 50 items; floor displays hold 50 to 500+.
How much weight can a corrugated display hold?
B-flute corrugated displays hold 15 to 25 lbs per shelf. BC double-wall construction supports 30 to 50 lbs per shelf. Floor displays with reinforced bases support total loads of 100+ lbs.
Can display boxes ship flat?
Yes. All our display boxes ship flat (knocked down) and assemble in under 60 seconds without tools. Assembly instructions are printed on the unit. This saves 70%+ on shipping costs versus assembled displays.
What is the minimum order?
50 units for display boxes (lower MOQ than standard packaging due to typical retail deployment). Free US shipping. 10 to 14 business days.

What is a cardboard display box?
A cardboard display box is a retail packaging structure that holds multiple products for counter, shelf, or point-of-sale presentation.
