A display tray is the cheapest way to get branded presence on a counter, because it is often the same box the product shipped in. The tray arrives loaded, the lid tears away on a perforated line and what is left stands as a display with printed sides.

That tear line is where these succeed or fail. Cut it too deep and cases split in transit, too shallow and staff attack it with a knife and shred the printed panel. We set the perforation to the board grade and run a physical open test on the sample before production.

Print the inside face as well as the outside. Once the lid is off, the inside of the front wall is at eye height on a counter, and most brands leave it blank by accident.

Free dieline, sample with a live tear test, and a printed proof. Minimum 50 units, 10 to 12 business days.

Why Brands Order Custom Counter Display Trays

The size is the first thing we get right. These boxes are cut to your product's own dimensions, so nothing shifts on the pallet and nothing needs padding out with filler. That alone tends to cut damage claims and dimensional shipping costs.

Because the artwork is yours end to end, the packaging carries your colours, your typography and your compliance text rather than a generic template.

Board and Material Options for Counter Display Trays

We print on kraft, coated SBS cardboard, corrugated flute and rigid greyboard. Kraft suits natural and refill lines, SBS holds photographic artwork cleanly, corrugated protects heavier or fragile items in the post, and rigid board is for the price points where the box is part of the product.

Every board we stock is recyclable, and FSC-certified stock is available on request at no extra charge on most runs.

Printing and Finishing Choices for Counter Display Trays

Artwork goes down in offset CMYK, digital or spot Pantone depending on quantity. Metallic and opaque white inks are available for kraft, where standard process colour tends to sink.

Add matte lamination for a quiet, fingerprint-resistant surface, spot UV to make one element catch light, or foil stamping for the premium end of your range.

Wholesale Counter Display Trays With Low Minimums

We start at 50 units on this style. Wholesale pricing steps down as volume rises - the jump from 250 to 1,000 units is where most brands see the biggest per-box saving.

Every quote is broken down line by line, and ground shipping across the US is included in the figure you see.

How to Order Your Custom Printed Counter Display Trays

Tell us the product, the quantity and the look you are after. We return a dieline, a 3D mockup and itemised pricing, usually the same working day, and print in 10-12 business days once you sign off the proof.
