Retail and Point-of-Purchase Applications
Lightweight Product Framing
Well-suited for cosmetics, small packaged goods, or sample cards. The product rests in the rear cutout, using the display's angled face for high visibility.
Brochure and Literature Presentation
The cutout can be sized to hold informational pamphlets or promotional cards upright on a counter or reception desk.
Cosmetic and Beauty Samples
The angled face and custom cutout provide a clear view for small bottles, tubes, or jars on pharmacy and beauty counters.
Retail Gift Cards and Vouchers
The aperture can be sized to hold a stack of gift cards, keeping them upright and accessible near the register.
Distribution and Store-Floor Setup
Flat Shipping to Retailers
The unglued, one-piece construction means the displays ship completely flat. This maximizes pallet efficiency and reduces distribution costs when sending promotional kits to multiple retail locations.
Manual Store-Floor Assembly
Store staff can erect the display in seconds. The base folds flat, the two angled panels meet at the apex, and a single tuck tongue secures the tent into a slit lock. Adhesive is not required.
Short-Run Promotional Campaigns
Because the template relies on simple flatbed die-cutting without gluing, it is a practical choice for seasonal or temporary retail promotions.
When to Consider Alternative Displays
Heavy or Bulky Products
This folding carton tent relies on the stiffness of the paperboard to prevent sagging. If you are displaying heavy items like glass bottles or metal hardware, a corrugated display or a display with a reinforced base is a safer choice.
Multi-Product Assortments
The EVF61003 is designed to present a single item or a single stack of literature. For displaying multiple different products, consider a tiered counter display or a tray with partitions.
Board Stiffness and Cutout Fit
Board Caliper and Sag Prevention
The weight of your product dictates the required board thickness. A common folding boxboard works well for light items, but heavier products may require a thicker caliper to keep the angled display face from bowing.
Cutout Dimensions and Grip
The overall size of the display is driven by the object it holds. Decide whether the product should simply rest inside the cutout or if the aperture needs tighter tolerances to grip the item securely.
Print Surface and Branding
Both the front and rear angled panels offer high-visibility surfaces. You must decide how the product will obscure the rear panel when planning your graphics.
Packing and Distribution Method
Plan how the flat blanks will be distributed. They can be packed in bulk master cartons or kitted individually with the product for store delivery.
Adapting the Display
Cutout Shape Modifications
While the template uses a rectangular window by default, the cutout can be modified to match the specific contour of your product, providing a more integrated presentation.
Locking Tab Adjustments
The tuck tongue and slit lock can be adjusted in width and depth to match the specific caliper of the chosen paperboard, ensuring the tent stays closed.
Base Footprint Scaling
The depth of the base panel can be extended if the display needs a wider footprint to prevent tipping in high-traffic retail areas.
Packing details
Lock Friction and Board Choice
The slit lock that holds the tent together relies on the friction and memory of the chosen paperboard. If you change the board grade or thickness, the lock geometry may need minor adjustments to ensure the display does not pop open on the counter.
Additional notes
Testing the Cutout
Always test a blank sample with your actual product to ensure the cutout provides the right balance of visibility and support before committing to a full production run.
FAQs
Does this display require glue or tape?
No. The EVF61003 is an unglued carton. It uses a tuck tongue that inserts into a slit lock on the base to hold its triangular shape.
How do I know what size display to order?
The overall dimensions of this display are driven directly by the height and width of the product you intend to display. Providing your exact product dimensions is the first step in configuring the template.
Can I ship my product already loaded in the display?
No. The triangular tent is designed for counter presentation, not transit protection. It will crush if shipped assembled. The displays should be shipped flat and assembled at the retail location.
Will the display sag over time?
Sagging can occur if the displayed object is too heavy for the chosen paperboard. Testing a physical prototype with your actual product helps verify that the board caliper provides enough stiffness.
Can the rectangular hole be changed to a custom shape?
Yes. The central cutout can be adjusted to follow the profile of your specific product, though complex shapes may require a review to ensure they do not weaken the surrounding panel.
Which panels are visible to the customer?
Once assembled, the front angled panel and the rear angled panel (which holds the product) are the primary visible surfaces. The base sits flat on the counter.
Can I use a glossy coating on this display?
Yes, but the coating must be evaluated against the slit lock. High-gloss finishes can reduce friction, which might require minor adjustments to the lock geometry to keep the tent secure.
How are these displays packed for distribution?
Because they require no gluing, the blanks are packed completely flat in master cartons. This keeps shipping costs low and maximizes pallet efficiency.
