QC, packed & sealed

Finished boxes are checked against the approved sample, counted, and securely packed to protect edges and print during transit.

Dispatch shares tracking details so your team can plan filling and launch dates. Your packaging arrives press-ready and production-ready.

Why Checkout Counter Displays Drive Impulse Beauty Sales

Most beauty add-ons are unplanned, decided in the seconds a shopper waits at the till. A well-placed counter display box puts small, giftable products right in that moment of decision, converting idle checkout space into measurable extra sales for retailers and brands alike.

Unlike a shelf slot buried among competitors, a branded PDQ counter unit owns its space entirely. It presents your products at eye level, tells a quick brand story, and makes grabbing one effortless, which is why cosmetics, lip care, and travel-size lines rely on it.

Stocking small lip products in the tray? Our lipstick boxes slot neatly into a counter display program.

PDQ Structure And Tiered Inserts That Stand Up To Retail

Counter displays take a beating in busy stores, so structure is everything. We build the outer shell from rigid or heavy corrugated board and add tiered, stepped inserts that keep every unit upright, front-facing, and easy to restock as products sell through.

Ship-flat, assemble-fast engineering keeps freight and setup costs low, while reinforced bases carry the weight of fully stocked trays without sagging. Angled headers and shelf-talkers give you extra branded real estate above the product.

For the individual units that fill the tray, our lip gloss boxes and mascara boxes keep the whole display consistent.

Printing And Branding That Turn Counters Into Storefronts

A counter display is prime advertising space, so we print it to sell. High-resolution CMYK or brand-matched PMS graphics wrap the header and tray, and finishes like gloss lamination, spot UV, and foil make the unit pop against a cluttered checkout.

We design the header as a mini billboard, with room for a tagline, price point, or promotion that nudges the impulse buy. Clean, high-contrast artwork ensures the message reads from a few feet away.

Running a colorful nail promo at the till? Our nail polish boxes pair perfectly with a counter unit. Send your artwork for a free 3D mockup and transparent per-unit pricing.

Eco-Friendly Counter Displays And Fast Retail Turnaround

Retail buyers increasingly want displays that recycle easily, and we deliver. Our counter display boxes come in recyclable corrugated and kraft stocks printed with water-based inks, so your point-of-sale unit performs hard and disposes clean at end of promotion.

Because promotions run on tight calendars, we offer fast turnaround and a physical sample before your full run, plus free design support to nail the structure. From boutique beauty bars to national drugstore chains, our team scales counter display production with you.
