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.

Never has it been more important for consumer facing products to be sustainable and environmentally friendly. Some popular Instagram accounts such as Pointless Packaging base their entire existence on highlighting excessive single use plastic wrapping and styrofoam packaging. Consumers are increasingly willing to change their spending habits to avoid egregious packaging and support plastic-free shopping.

Like the customers, we also believe in the sustainability of cardboard versus plastic and other materials for packing, packaging and displays.

At n.smith we adopt the philosophies of Reduction and Recycling in order to help ensure the sustainability of your business. Corrugated cardboard is the number one most recycling packaging, accounting for 84% of all recycling in the UK.

Recycling a tonne of cardboard helps save:

• 209 litres of oil
• 4000kW of electricity
• 9 cubic yards of landfill space
• 17 trees
• 31,822 litres of water

In terms of store shelves, there’s a tangible benefit to your products appearing in cardboard Shelf Ready Packaging (SRP) and Retail Ready Packaging (RRP). Customers look for and appreciate cardboard packaging, both by helping lend a premium veneer to a product range (our team of creatives are here to help you out here) and by virtue of it simply not being plastic.

Tailored cardboard product packaging can also help to reduce the quantity (and costs) of cardboard required. By using cardboards which are fully recyclable, you are already reducing the impact of your business on the environment.

The Food & Drink Expo will be taking place 5 – 7 July 2021 at the NEC in Birmingham. It represents one of the first opportunities for us to get back out there in exhibition spaces.

In-store it can become all too easy for products to get lost in the miles upon miles of aisles and shelves. Being seen is the first and most important step toward being bought but it’s not the only one. This is where Shelf Ready Packaging (SRP) can become crucial for being picked up by stores and for being noticed by customers.

The core values of SRP are known as the ‘5 Easies’. 5 crucial aspects we can work through with you to ensure you make your products as buyable as possible. 

The Shelf Ready Packaging ‘5 Easies’:

With the country gradually opening up and returning back to normality, it’s now only a matter of time until we’re back to doing all the things we’re used to in the business world, such as exhibitions and events where we can meet new clients and rub shoulders with others in our industry. It is time to get noticed at trade events and exhibitions with bespoke cardboard displays.
