Why Durham Businesses Choose Us
Why Choose Our Display Boxes
Custom Display Boxes That Win at Point of Sale
Point-of-sale packaging is one of the most powerful drivers of unplanned purchase decisions — and display boxes are the format that makes it happen. Branded Boxes designs and manufactures custom counter display units, floor display shippers, shelf-ready packaging, and hanging display cards that command attention and move products in retail environments from convenience stores to department stores.
Display Box Types We Produce
Our display packaging range covers every retail placement scenario. Counter display boxes (CDUs) sit on checkout counters and high-traffic shelves, presenting multiple units of a single product for customer self-selection. Floor display shippers ship as a corrugated case and convert into a freestanding floor display with a simple tear-away panel. Shelf-ready packaging (SRP) slides directly onto retail shelves with the front panel removed.
Display Engineering Principles
- Structural stability under full product load
- Easy setup by retail staff
- Visual hierarchy guiding consumer attention
- Product accessibility without spillage
- Brand messaging at eye level and above
Counter Display Units: Small Footprint, Big Sales Impact
Counter display units (CDUs) are among the most efficient retail marketing investments available. Positioned at checkout counters or high-traffic shelf locations, CDUs present products at the precise moment when impulse purchase decisions are made. Our CDUs are structurally engineered to hold full product loads without sagging or tipping, with print that stops shoppers and communicates product benefits in a second or less.
Floor Display Shippers: Retail-Ready from the Warehouse
Floor display shippers combine the functions of shipping case and retail display into a single package. The corrugated shipper holds product safely during transit and warehouse storage. At the store, retail staff remove a perforated tear-away panel to convert the shipper into a branded floor display — no assembly required, no parts to dispose of. Our structural engineers design every tear-away panel for clean, consistent conversion in the field.
