Description
Overview

Food Counter Display Boxes

A box that sells from the counter it was delivered in — no separate display SKU.

The lid folds back into a header or the top tears away, turning a wholesale case into a point-of-sale unit. For independent food retail that removes a decision and an assembly step.

What We Make

The full kit of capabilities.

Tear-Away Front Panel
Ships as a case, converts to a display with one motion.
Angled and Tiered Bases
Keeps product facing forward as the display empties.
Litho-Laminated Print
Retail-grade photographic quality on a shipping structure.
Header Cards
Raised branding above the unit at eye level.
Dividers and Inserts
Product held upright and separated.
Counter and Shelf Formats
Sized for till points or shelf placement.
Stackable Cases
Back-of-house storage and reorder handling.
Price Marking Zones
Space retailers can price without covering your artwork.
Flat Bases on Emptying Displays
Stock slides backward and the display looks picked-over by day three. Angled or tiered bases keep it facing.
Plain Case Print on a Display Unit
This competes for attention at a till. Flexo on brown board will lose to a litho-laminated competitor beside it.

Measure Twice

Sizing & dieline.

Every Food Counter Display Boxes is cut to a dieline built around your product — not pulled off a shelf. Send us the length, width and height of the item (or the item itself) and we return a measured dieline, free, before you commit to anything.

How to measure
01
Measure the product

Length, width and height of the item itself, at its widest points — not the box you happen to use today.

02
Add clearance

Allow 2–4 mm on each axis for a snug fit, and more if you are adding foam, a pillow insert or tissue.

03
Give us the order

We quote as Length × Width × Height. Tell us whether you are working in millimetres or inches and we match it.

What It Costs

Pricing & minimums.

What moves the price
Quantity

The single biggest lever. Unit cost falls sharply as volume rises, because setup and tooling spread across more pieces.

Material and thickness

Board weight and stock choice change both the raw material cost and the shipping weight of the finished run.

Finishing

Foil, spot UV, embossing and soft-touch each add a pass on press. One or two lift the box; five compound the cost.

Print coverage

Full-bleed print inside and out costs more than a one-sided design on natural stock.

Inserts and hardware

Foam, moulded pulp, velvet pillows, magnets and ribbon are priced per piece on top of the box itself.

Timeline

Standard production is the base rate. Rush moves you up the production queue and carries a surcharge.

— Frequently Asked Questions —

Questions, answered.

Everything you need to know about Food Counter Display Boxes.

It has to work twice — as a shipping case and then as a display — and the second role changes everything.

The tear-away front. A perforated panel that staff remove at the counter, so the case becomes a display without anyone unpacking or arranging the product.

Facing retention. A normal case just has to hold product. A display has to keep it facing forward as it empties. Angled bases, tiers and dividers push remaining stock to the front — without them the display looks picked-over within days and stops selling.

Print quality. A shipping case is seen by warehouse staff. A display competes for attention at a till against everything beside it, which is why litho-lamination is usual rather than plain flexo.

The underlying commercial point: busy counter staff often will not unpack and arrange a product, so it stays in the stockroom. A display box removes that decision entirely.
