Custom display boxes put your products right where buying decisions happen: on the counter, by the till and on the shelf edge. They hold products neatly, make restocking easy and turn small items into impulse buys.
We make custom printed display boxes in cardstock and corrugated board, with tear-away lids, header cards, tiered trays and front cut-outs. Every display is sized to your products and printed on every visible surface.
Displays ship flat, fold up in seconds and double as shipping cartons, so retailers can put them straight on the counter.
Why choose custom display boxes?
More impulse sales
Products at eye level near the till sell more. A branded display makes them impossible to miss.
Easy for retailers
Ready-to-use displays save store staff time and keep your products organised.
Ship and display in one
Tear-away lids let the shipping box become the display, cutting packaging and handling.
Designing a display that sells
Put your logo on the header so it is visible from a distance, and use the front lip for the product name and price point. Keep the display shallow enough that products are easy to reach and tall enough that the last few items still look appealing.
Tell us the products and quantity per display, and we will design the structure for you.
Styles of custom display boxes we make
Every style below can be made to your exact size and printed with your artwork. Not sure which suits your product? Tell us what you are packing and we will recommend the best option.

Custom display boxes wholesale pricing
The price of custom display boxes depends on a few simple factors, and knowing them helps you get the best value from your budget:
- Size and style: larger boxes and complex structures use more board and set-up.
- Material: paperboard costs less than corrugated, and corrugated less than rigid board.
- Printed sides: outside-only printing is the most economical; inside printing adds impact for a little more.
- Finishes: foil, embossing and soft-touch add a premium feel and a small cost per box.
- Quantity: the unit price drops as the order grows, so wholesale runs give the best value.
Tip: keep one structure across several products and change only the artwork, and you can order custom display boxes in larger combined runs at a lower unit price. Request a free quote and we will suggest ways to reduce cost without losing quality.
Sustainable custom display boxes
More customers now check whether packaging can be recycled before they buy. We can make your custom display boxes from recyclable and recycled-content board, print with water-based or soy-based inks, swap plastic windows for open or plant-based film, and right-size every box so it uses less material and less void fill. Add a small recycling symbol and message to show customers you care.
Artwork tips for custom display boxes
- Design on the dieline we send, with 3 mm (1/8 inch) bleed past every cut edge.
- Keep text and logos at least 3 mm inside folds and cut lines.
- Use 300 DPI images and CMYK colours, or Pantone references for exact brand colours.
- Send logos as vector files and convert fonts to outlines.
- Put the product name and main benefit on the front panel, and barcodes and legal text on the back or base.
