About this product

This one-piece display tray folds its integrated panels into separate compartments while keeping products visible on the retail shelf.

The compartments are part of the continuous blank rather than separate drop-in dividers. The tradeoff is pack-station labor to fold and lock the integrated panels before loading.

Common uses

Shelf-ready multi-product assortments
Countertop point-of-sale displays for small items
In-plant kitting and sorting trays
Sample kits and promotional bundles

Practical retail and sorting jobs

Shelf-ready multi-product assortments

Keeps different flavors, colors, or components separated on the retail shelf. The lowered front makes it easy for shoppers to grab items, while the dividers prevent the remaining products from falling over or mixing together.

Countertop point-of-sale displays

The clean rolled front edge gives a finished look suitable for checkout counters. The internal cells keep small impulse items organized in a small footprint.

In-plant kitting and sorting

Useful for organizing parts on an assembly line. The rigid cells keep components separated before they move to the next station, and the open top allows fast access for workers.

Sample kits and promotional bundles

Organizes trial-sized items or mixed promotional goods into a single presentation unit. The dividers ensure each item stays upright and visible during the unboxing or display experience.

Who uses this display style

Cosmetics and personal care

Brands use the individual cells to hold bottles or tubes upright, ensuring the display stays neat even as shoppers remove items throughout the day.

Fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG)

When launching a mixed-flavor promo pack, the dividers allow a single master shipper to deliver a pre-sorted, shelf-ready presentation directly to the aisle.

Hardware and small parts retail

Keeps different sizes of fasteners, tools, or accessories separated on the shelf, preventing inventory mixing while maintaining high visibility for the shopper.

When to consider a different display tray

High-volume automated packing lines

If your fulfillment center cannot spare the labor to manually insert dividers and fold the front lock, look at the 0801 auto-bottom display tray. It pops open instantly, though it lacks the internal compartments.

Single-product displays

If you do not need internal cells to separate items, the 0802 display tray offers a similar lowered front profile without the extra divider pieces to manage at the pack station.

Close variants and lookalike dielines

The closest library neighbors include 0423, 0423a, EVC61002. Use this as a variant check if a buyer brings an old code, sample, or dieline that looks close. The deciding details are usually the lock, slot, closure, wall build, part count, or fold sequence.

Board, labor, and transit choices

Board thickness and fold clearance

The 180-degree front rollover and the friction-fit dividers are highly sensitive to board thickness. Fine flutes fold cleanly and allow dividers to slide in. Heavy flutes often bind during the fold or tear the locking slots.

Number of compartments

The template can be adjusted to hold different numbers of dividers. More cells mean more pieces to manage at the pack station and more material required on the die board.

Master shipper planning

This tray has an open top and cannot ship through a parcel network on its own. It requires a fitted outer transit box to protect the goods during distribution.

Pack-station workflow

Because this tray requires manual folding and separate divider insertion, it adds seconds to every packed unit. You must balance the presentation benefits against the manual labor required on the fulfillment floor.

Template adjustments beyond length, width, and height

Front wall height

The height of the lowered front can be raised or lowered to balance product visibility against how securely the items need to be held in place.

Side wall bevel angle

The diagonal slope from the tall back wall to the low front wall can be adjusted to match the height and shape of the products being displayed.

Divider spacing and cell count

The base and wall slots can be positioned to create equal compartments or varied cell widths, depending on the specific mix of products going into the tray.

Board and packing details

Multi-piece logistics

Because the tray and dividers are separate pieces, they must be bundled and tracked together. Pack stations need both components in matching quantities to complete assembly.

Print panel placement

The rolled front edge folds inward, meaning the exterior graphic continues over the lip and down into the front of the tray, creating a continuous branded surface facing the shopper.

Additional notes

Stacking limits on the retail shelf

The lowered front wall reduces vertical compression strength. Do not rely on this tray to support heavy pallets or multiple stacked layers without an outer transit box taking the weight.

Continuous branding on the front lip

Because the front panel rolls over 180 degrees, the outside print surface wraps over the top edge and faces the product, hiding the raw corrugated edge from the shopper.

FAQs

Shipping and route

Can this tray be shipped directly to a customer?

No. The open top and multi-piece design mean it requires an outer master carton for transit. It is strictly an inner display or presentation piece.

Inserts and product fit

How do the dividers stay in place?

They slide vertically into friction-fit slots cut into the base and side walls. They do not use glue, relying entirely on the tension of the corrugated board to stay rigid.

Board and finish

Why does board thickness matter so much for this tray?

The front wall folds 180 degrees over itself to lock into the base. If the board is too thick, this fold binds, and the locking tabs will pop out. Thick board also makes inserting the dividers difficult.

Packing labor

How long does this take to assemble?

It requires multi-step manual assembly. A packer must fold the walls, roll and lock the front edge, and individually drop in each divider. It is slower to pack than a glued pop-up tray.

Quantity and production

Does this require special tooling?

Yes. The complex locking slots, diagonal side walls, and separate divider pieces require flatbed die-cutting. It cannot be produced on standard rotary equipment.

Samples and prototypes

Should we test a physical sample before ordering?

Always. A physical mockup proves whether the dividers slide in smoothly without crushing the flutes and whether the front rollover locks securely in your specific board grade.

Assembly and closure

Does the front rolled edge require tape?

No. The front panel rolls 180 degrees and locks into the base using mechanical tabs, keeping the edge secure without adhesive.

Modifications

Can the dividers be glued in place?

No. This specific tray relies entirely on friction-fit slots. If you need glued dividers, you will need a different structural design.
