Candle Cottage Display Creates Warm And Cozy Look

This half pallet candle display was designed to resemble a cottage for a warm and cozy look. The display is corrugated with litho and flexo.

The objective of the display program was to establish name recognition by featuring the product in a more visible and highly traveled portion of the store. The display communicates that the candles are scented and burn longer.

The display was so successful that 95% of stores are reordering for the spring season.

This Candle Cottage display was produced by Linpac Display, a point-of-purchase display firm headquartered in Tullahoma, TN.



Pyrocool Display Promotes Product Introduction

This Pyrocool 12 count floorstand/power wing is helping to promote the availability of a new convenient, easy to store can. The display had to convey that Pyrocool, a fire suppressant used to extinguish industrial fires, provides safety combined with convenience. The unit also had to remain within mass merchant size specifications.

The display merchandises the product with significant visibility of the eye-catching product packaging accompanied by an attractive display of color.

The effective use of strong red and orange flames on the black background grab the attention of the consumer.

The display is litho-lam E-flute corrugated, four color process plus aqueous varnish. It has a relatively small footprint and can be used as a power wing should the retailer not have the floor space.

This Pyrocool floorstand-power wing was produced by Menasha Display Group, Philadelphia, PA.
