Living Essentials Displays 5-Hour Energy Drink

Living Essentials has unveiled new displays for its 5-Hour Energy, a unique two-ounce liquid energy drink that provides hours of enhanced focus and mental acuity without the crash or jitters associated with canned carbonated energy beverages. Because it requires no refrigeration and has a small footprint, 5-Hour Energy has been a huge success at front end.

5-Hour Energy is being merchandised in a 24-bottle counter rack. This 2-tier rack is designed to allow retailers to merchandise both flavors of 5-Hour Energy in a small space. The wire display takes only 42 square inches of counter space. It comes packed with four 12-packs of 5-Hour Energy, two each of berry and lemon-lime flavors. 5-Hour Energy is also available in a new 120-bottle Dump Bin Display. This floor standing display holds 60 bottles of each flavor.



ChapStick Replica Features Counter Display

This ChapStick display is a clever replica of the ChapStick package.

The compact display unit is versatile, because it can be placed on a counter, hung from a tie strap or be hooked to a wire display up front.

The unit merchandises refill packs of four different ChapStick SKU’s. The display holds a large volume of product in a minimum of space to generate impule purchases at the point-of-sale.

The two-piece injection-molded unit, is sonic welded, with 4-color process product replica graphics attached.

This display was created for ChapStick by Henschel-Stenau, Inc., an Englewood, NJ-based point-of-purchase display firm.



Nivea Displays Smooth Sensation Products

Nivea wanted to maximize the graphic area and product space for this 24”H by 14”W for Wal-Mart and other targeted national accounts.

The “Sliding Header” achieves maximum graphic impact in a small space without sacrificing product count. When the header is at the top of the display, six units appear across the bottom. When the last unit is purchased, the header slides down automatically, revealing six more units on a top shelf. When the display is shopped half way down, it automatically reappears as fully stocked.

All visible components are full litho-lam Eflute corrugated, printed offset four colors, plus Nivea Blue and a UV coating for sheen.

This display was created for Nivea by Menasha Display Group, Philadelphia, PA.
