Cardboard can be used for a whole lot more than e-commerce and transit, including spectacular POS display which can attract the attention of shoppers and help your products stand out from the crowd.

POS and free-standing displays can be designed for almost any product, notably standing out when compared to similar products displayed on traditional shelving. 

So whether it’s racks of garden tools, shelf units for Christmas gifts, trays of scented candles, or counter-top units for trading cards and snacks, we can provide the solution which will best accentuate the qualities of your product.

If you’d like to work with a company you can rely on to showcase your products and brand at their very best, please do get in touch on 01215 571891 or email sales@nsmithbox.co.uk.

A key element in allowing your POS, FSDU and CDU displays to be adopted by a retailer is meeting the requirements for their stores. In particular, you are going to benefit from adapting your displays to the size of the store you hope they will appear in.

You can make the grandest display with the most eye-catching design but if it’s too large and makes delivery impractical, or takes up too much room in a petrol garage store, for example, then store managers will be more inclined to remove them. Some of the bigger stores’ guidelines could be mistaken for novels but we can help best prepare your product.

We have worked with various stores and their guidelines for years, building up a wealth of knowledge in regards to getting your product & display packaging designed, created and exhibited by stores in a compliant fashion. 

Together we can help give your product the best chance of success at securing a footprint in stores across the UK.

If you would like any help whatsoever in the entire process from POS consultation and design, right on through to delivery, please call us on 0121 557 1891 or email sales@nsmithbox.co.uk.

There are few quicker methods of getting your product shipped than crash lock boxes. Otherwise known as self-locking cardboard boxes, these are renowned for the speed with which they can be assembled, packed and dispatched.

Corrugated self-locking cardboard boxes also have a small footprint through being flat packed, minimal assembly required, and can often require zero secondary packaging such as tape.

If you or your business are looking to cut down on the time spent assembling and packaging your e-commerce products, we can manufacture corrugated crash lock boxes to speed up your business.

We offer a range of order volumes for crash lock boxes and can also enhance the packaging with printed branding for those looking to present a more premium product.

Packaging and distributing fragile items is one of the more challenging elements of supplying products. Ensuring everything arrives on time and in one piece is the result of many factors, chief of which is the box itself.

Keeping fragile items safe begins with finding the right box. The ideal packaging will minimise space around the product(s) while leaving just enough room for additional protection such as bubble wrap. 

The next concern is the thickness of the cardboard used. Thicker boxes and doubled-walled cardboard will help reduce the risk of damage to the product or tearing to the packaging. The thinner the board used, the more internal packaging will be required to sufficiently protect the products inside.

Lastly, there is the potential for packaging multiple items within a single box. We offer everything from cardboard dividers to bespoke die-cut cardboard inserts and product-specific moulds for particularly fragile elements, such as glass bottles .

If you are worried about providing sturdy enough packaging to best protect your products, we would love to talk to you. Together we can work with you to create the exact packaging for your needs and help keep breakages to a minimum.

Pallet displays can be the perfect way to transform a utility such as a pallet into a fantastic and eye-catching marketing tool. They are primarily used for showcasing large quantities or heavy merchandise on the shop floor. Pallet displays are a fantastic way of showing your brand off prominently and act as a great method of displaying, advertising and selling your products to consumers.

Pallets are cost effective displays which, due to their size, can really stand out to customers. Branded ballets will also be a bigger draw than plain pallets for retailers looking to build an engaging and attractive shopping experience.

At n.smith, we design and create eye-catching displays from full pallet wraps to pallet skirts, in short or long runs, for small one off promotions to large run national campaigns.

If you are looking for a manufacturer who can offer flexibility, creative design and will work with you to deliver on great value, call us now and make sure you get prime position for your products.
