Cardboard display stands have a vital role in retail marketing. Due to the scope and variety of possibilities, almost any product can benefit from a thoughtfully designed, smartly placed custom display stand.
In an electronics store, display stands can highlight technology devices and accessories with typography that educates the consumer. At a visitor’s center, a display stand can showcase the highlights of an attraction or city. In a grocery store, display stands can sit in the aisle, tempting the customer buying spaghetti with jars of pasta toppings, or holiday shoppers with the ingredients to make stuffing or pumpkin pie – with recipes. Michelob displayed a “climbing wall” display to spotlight its Ultra beer, a promotion created by Butler MSI. Another Butler display: A three-dimensional deer assembled from multiple pieces of cardboard, all printed with the Busch beer logo.
Here are some idea starters from some of our past projects...


Point-of-sale cardboard display stands can be tall or short; they can be square, also circular or rectangular; and they typically have built-in shelves, allowing customers to select a product right from the display. Their design and color attract your eye; their shelves tempt you with chocolates in the bookstore checkout line, golf balls at the sporting goods store or a special 2-for-1 promotion in a big-box merchandiser.
In this merchandising category especially, corrugated cardboard is an exceptional material. It is lightweight, sturdy and can be printed in custom colors and die-cut to custom shapes. If a large display is desired, it can be fashioned of multiple pieces that assemble onsite.
