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.

Packaging Designed Around Your Product
Every structure starts from your product's real dimensions, weight and fragility. We engineer the dieline so the fit is snug, the closure is secure and unboxing feels deliberate rather than accidental.

Branding
Custom Branding and Print That Stays Consistent
Full-colour CMYK, Pantone spot matching and metallic inks keep your brand identical across every run. Logos, ingredient panels, compliance marks and barcodes are all placed to print cleanly at production speed.

Protection
Built to Protect What's Inside
Board grade, flute profile and insert design are chosen for the journey your product actually takes — warehouse handling, courier transit and shelf restocking — so damage rates stay low.

Retail ready
Shelf Presentation That Earns a Second Look
Facing panels, colour blocking and finish choices are balanced for retail lighting so your packaging reads clearly from a distance and rewards a closer look in hand.

Logistics
Performance Across the Supply Chain
Flat-packed shipping, stackable footprints and consistent tolerances keep freight costs down and make fulfilment faster for you or your 3PL partner.

Sustainability
Sustainable Materials Without Compromise
Recycled board, FSC-certified stock, soy-based inks and plastic-free finishing options are available on this style — with the same structural strength and print quality.

Luxury
Luxury Finishing Options on Request
Foil stamping, soft-touch film, embossing and spot UV can be combined to lift a standard box into a premium unboxing moment worth sharing.
