If you’ve decided that you’re ready to take the next step in elevating your business, you may have begun brainstorming a design for a cardboard POP display. Retail displays can spread brand awareness, increase customer loyalty and boost sales in-store — that’s why thousands of businesses invest in custom POP displays using local custom packaging providers. 

But once you’ve decided to create a corrugated POP display, how do you find the right manufacturer? Choosing a trustworthy packaging provider will make the whole process easier and guarantee you a better end product, so it’s important that you take the time to consider these four essential qualities before choosing your custom cardboard display manufacturer.

1. Custom POP Display Prototypes

The first sign of a reliable corrugated POP display manufacturer is that they create cardboard display prototypes. A reputable manufacturer will be able to develop a prototype of your custom POP display before they begin production, allowing you to get an accurate idea of how the final product will look and feel.

This step is crucial for businesses, as it lets you ensure that the display you’re getting is exactly what you had in mind and will secure your brand a return on investment. A company that doesn’t offer this service is likely not worth your time, as it shows that they are not willing to go the extra mile to make sure their customers get the best product possible.

2. High-Quality Cardboard Display Printing

Another must-have for any cardboard display manufacturer is high-quality printing capabilities. The printing and design will ultimately be what grabs your customers’ attention, so you want to ensure that the cardboard displays are printed in the highest quality possible to help them stand out from the competition.

At Build A Box, we can fully customize every surface of your POP display with digital printing that looks crisp and perfectly true to color. We use the CMYK color system to guarantee a more accurate color output while consuming less ink, making the resulting display both cost-effective and incredibly vivid.

3. U.S. Manufacturing

When searching for a reliable custom POP display manufacturer, look for one who manufactures on-site or at various locations within the United States. Especially with today’s supply chain challenges, you want a cardboard display provider that can control factors such as time, cost and quality, so your project is completed on time and on budget. It also makes it easier to check up on the progress of the production and ensure that everything is going according to plan and that any issues can be addressed quickly.

4. In-House POP Display Design Experts

One of the most valuable traits of a custom POP display manufacturer is a team of in-house design experts. While you may have a finalized design in mind, a design team can help you further refine your display design based on their years of experience creating corrugated cardboard displays.

At Build A Box, our team of design experts will help you refine your custom POP display design, submitting revisions and alterations back and forth until you approve the final layout. During this step, we can also include special touches such as custom inserts or interactive displays. We push the limit of what’s possible so you can get the most value possible from your corrugated POP display.
