This series of double-layer PDQ cardboard display rack (Cardboard PDQ Rack) is manufactured from high-strength corrugated cardboard via one-piece die-cutting, featuring an upper-and-lower double-tier frame structure. It is a dedicated countertop display prop for retail stores and supermarkets.
Desktop display stands are relatively compact and can be placed on countertops to showcase small items. The desktop display rack can not only be built into multiple tiers, but also be assembled with hooks to become a counter hook display rack for hanging small ornaments.
Based on the sample designs, it supports multi-compartment layout. The upper and lower tiers have independent slots to separate different SKU products. It adopts a built-in snap-lock structure; no glue or extra tools are required, and it can be folded and assembled quickly. Full-color offset printing is available on the surface for brand logos, product graphics and promotional copy, to keep visual consistency with product packaging.
Finished racks can be placed directly at supermarket shelf ends, checkout counters or convenience store shelves. Units of the same style can also be stacked vertically. As a lightweight and recyclable alternative to plastic or wooden display fixtures, it works well for grouped FMCG displays and promotional endcap stacks.
Multiple compartment layouts are available: symmetrical dual-compartment design, multi-grid matrix layout and narrow double-tier layout. The inner compartment size can be adjusted to match product dimensions. Candies, snacks, beverages and daily chemical samples can be sorted separately, with all merchandise clearly visible for easy customer self-selection.
Supplementary item in the same product line: Independent PDQ display box (single-layer unit box)
4 internal dividers split the box into four separate cargo slots for sorted placement of small goods;
Full-color printed promotional price graphics on the front panel;
Die-carry handle cutouts on both sides for easy handling and restocking; the box can be pulled out individually from floor displays;
Sloped front design (low front, high back) for convenient product access by shoppers.
II. Product Advantages
Double-layer compartment layout for higher retail space efficiency
Compared with single-layer PDQ trays, the double-tier design doubles display capacity within the same footprint. Separate slots hold products of different flavors, specifications or series to avoid messy mixing. This simplifies stock management for retail staff and maximizes merchandise volume in the same display space.
Tool-free snap-lock construction for easy assembly and disassembly
Integrated corrugated die-cut parts lock together securely without glue or tape. Flat blank packaging greatly reduces shipping and storage volume. In-store staff can finish assembly within seconds upon delivery and cut down retail labor costs.
Custom full-color printing for strong brand presentation
The entire surface supports 4-color offset printing. Cartoon graphics, brand logos, promotional slogans and product photos can all be printed, as shown in the sample renders. The eye-catching print reinforces brand identity, ideal for holiday promotions and new product launches.
Eco-friendly corrugated board, fully compliant and recyclable
High burst-resistant B/E/F-flute corrugated cardboard is selected for stable load performance. The paper material is recyclable and biodegradable, meeting eco-packaging requirements for European and American retailers and aligning with sustainable retail packaging trends.
Lightweight design for easy handling and reliable stackability
The rack is light in weight, so staff can move and restock it easily. Units of identical size can be stacked vertically to adjust display height flexibly to fit different store shelf heights.
Customizable dimensions
Inner compartment length, width, tier count and divider layout can all be customized to match your product sizes. It fits snacks, beverages, daily chemical goods, toys, beauty samples and other fast-moving consumer goods.
Flexible for short-term promotional campaigns
Matching independent single-layer PDQ display boxes are available. They are low-cost, fully recyclable and printed with promotional graphics in one production run. They can be discarded after promotion ends, perfectly suited for short-term marketing activities.
