Walk into any busy shop and you’ll spot Cardboard POS displays doing the hard work. They catch attention, promote offers, and help products stand out in crowded aisles.
At Garthwest, we design Custom Point of Sale Displays that do more than hold products. They help brands sell more in-store without making things complicated.
Still got questions? You’re not alone. Here are some of the things people ask us most often before starting a project.
“What exactly is a Cardboard POS display?”
Cardboard POS stands for cardboard point of sale. These displays sit near tills, aisle ends, shelves, or high-traffic areas to encourage purchases.
They work because they put products where shoppers naturally look.
Garthwest designs everything from countertop display units to large free standing display units. Each display suits the product, retail space, and campaign goals.
“Can cardboard displays actually hold heavy products?”
Yes, they can.
People often underestimate corrugated cardboard. When designed properly, it’s strong, durable, and built for retail use.
Our Cardboard POS units support everything from pet products to drinks and sports supplements. We design each display around the product weight and size. That means your display stays stable and looks professional throughout the campaign.
If a product needs extra strength, we’ll recommend the right structure from the start.
“Can I see the display before production starts?”
Absolutely.
Nobody wants surprises after production begins.
That’s why our team creates digital visuals and working prototypes before manufacturing starts. You’ll see how the display looks, how products fit, and how the finished unit performs in-store.
It also gives you the chance to tweak artwork, shelving, or layout before sign-off.
“What types of Custom Point of Sale Displays do Garthwest offer?”
Quite a few.
We produce cardboard FSDUs, countertop CDUs, pallet bins, standees, strut cards, and branded ecommerce packaging.
Some campaigns need compact countertop units near checkouts. Others need large floor-standing displays that stop shoppers in their tracks.
Our in-house team helps you choose the right option for your campaign and retail environment.
“Do retailers have rules for Cardboard POS displays?”
They do, and this catches many people out.
Retailers often have strict guidelines around size, safety, stock weight, and setup. A display might look great on screen but fail retail approval.
Garthwest understands those requirements. We design Cardboard POS displays that work creatively whilst still meeting store specifications.
That saves time and avoids costly delays.
“Are cardboard displays eco friendly?”
Yes, and that matters more than ever.
Many brands want displays that support sustainability goals without losing visual impact.
Garthwest uses recyclable corrugated cardboard and FSC® certified materials where possible. We also offer flat-packed designs that reduce transport space and lower emissions.
A good display should help your products stand out without creating unnecessary waste.
“Why do brands choose Garthwest?”
Because experience matters.
We’ve spent more than 20 years creating Custom Point of Sale Displays for brands across food, entertainment, pet care, fitness, and retail.
Our team handles everything in-house, from design through to manufacturing and delivery. That keeps projects moving smoothly and gives you direct support throughout the process.
Most importantly, we create displays that work in real retail spaces.
The right Cardboard POS display does more than look good. It helps shoppers notice your product, engage with your brand, and make faster buying decisions.
If you’re planning your next retail campaign, we can help you create something that earns attention for all the right reasons.
