Counter Display Box

Custom Counter Display Boxes Wholesale: Countertop PDQ Displays for Cosmetics

What counter display boxes are used for

A counter display box sits next to the register and shows products for quick, easy purchases. Countertop display boxes hold many units of one product, and the front opens or tears away so shoppers can reach in. PDQ display boxes are ready to place on a counter with the products already inside. Counter display packaging helps small brands win space in shops, salons, and pharmacies. A retail counter display box has a bold front with your logo and a clear product name, so it works from a few feet away. Countertop display packaging is also good for impulse buys. Counter display boxes for cosmetics hold lip products, nail polish, small tubes, and gift items.

Sizes and how to measure

Box size is written as length x width x height, measured inside. Measure your product, decide how many units the display holds, and add a small gap. Counter space is limited, so keep the footprint small. Tell us the product and the count, and we suggest a size.

Example sizes (approximate and for reference only; we confirm the exact size before you order):

• Lip product display: about 8 in x 4 in x 4 in
• Nail polish display: about 10 in x 5 in x 4 in
• Sample display: about 6 in x 4 in x 5 in
• Tube display: about 9 in x 4 in x 5 in

Board, printing, and options

Display boxes are made from paperboard or corrugated board. Paperboard gives a smooth surface for sharp color, and corrugated board gives more strength for heavier items. The front panel opens, tears away, or folds back to show the product. Boxes arrive flat and are set up by hand. Finishes include matte or gloss lamination, soft touch, and foil. The board can be paperboard for lighter units or corrugated for heavier ones. A sample kit lets you feel the board and test the fit.

Printing and finishing

Printing can be full color on the outside, with a one color or full color print inside. Because a display box is seen from a few feet away, a bold logo and a clear product name matter most. Keep key text inside the safe area on the dieline, away from folds and tear lines. We set up the folds and the cut lines on the free dieline, and you approve it before production. Put the logo and the product name on the front and the sides, so it reads from any angle.

Merchandising on a counter

A counter display works when it is easy to read and easy to shop. Use large type, a clear price or offer, and bright color. Keep the footprint small so the store agrees to place it. A header card or a back panel can carry the brand message. Ask the store about size limits before you print.

Labeling notes

Product boxes often carry text such as ingredients, net contents, directions, and warnings, and what is required depends on your product and your market. You supply all text and the layout, and we print what you send. We do not write or check text or claims, and you are responsible for making sure your boxes meet the rules for your product.

Orders from 50 units

Orders start at 50 units, which suits a new brand, a test batch, or a small giveaway. Larger orders cost less per box, and they can be planned in several sizes and designs. Share your expected yearly volume during the free consultation and we plan around it.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline that shows the box size, the shape, the cut line, and the safe area, so you can see where your artwork goes and where text should stay clear. Supply artwork as a vector AI or PDF file with fonts outlined and images at 300 DPI in CMYK. If you have no artwork yet, free design support and a free consultation are included, and our team can help lay out the logo and the text from your brand colors. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
