Point of sale, made in Stockport.

Bespoke retail displays — free-standing units (FSDUs), counter-top displays, dump-bins, totems, and shelf-edge fixtures — engineered, printed, and finished end-to-end at our Stockport factory. Every structure starts as a CAD model, is prototyped in white-board for physical sign-off, then runs through the same B1 5-colour press and Bobst finishing line that produce our folding cartons. Where the show face needs premium print on heavier board, we use litho-lamination. One factory. One supply chain. One campaign-ready display.

01Engineered in CAD, prototyped in white-board — sign off the structure before plate, no surprises in production.
02Premium B1 5-colour print on the show face — colour-critical brand work that holds up on retail floor.
03Ship-flat assembly — no on-site tools, lower freight, faster store rollout across multi-site campaigns.

THE SPEC

Capabilities & specifications.

A baseline of what we routinely engineer, print, and finish for retail-floor displays — the spec list buyers compare against when shortlisting a POS manufacturer. Structural design is the first line, not the last. Anything outside this range, ask: bespoke is the default, not the exception.

END-TO-END, IN-HOUSE

Under one roof.

Every bespoke POS unit moves through four stages without leaving the building. Structural design turns the brief into a manufacturable display — engineered in CAD, prototyped in white-board, signed off in-hand. Then the B1 press, the Bobst die-cutter, and the finishing line take the approved structure to a printed, finished, packed display. No outsourced fabrication, no third-party finishing.

Point of sale work supports campaign-led retail across these sectors — from beauty-hall counter units to checkout dump-bins, supermarket totems to dealership accessory displays.

The production journey.

01

Brief

Share the campaign, retail context, dimensions, run quantity, and any branding constraints. We come back with a quote, a sample timeline, and a structural direction.

02

Sample

CAD model first, then a physical white-board prototype for in-hand sign-off. Structure signed off before any plate is made or board is cut.

03

Production

Print, die-cut, finish, pack. Despatched flat for in-store assembly on the agreed date — every unit tracked from press to dock.

Typical lead time: [TBC — X working days from approved artwork and structure to despatch].

“[ Testimonial placeholder — typically 30–60 words from a brand or category manager who commissioned a POS run: what they ordered (FSDU, counter-top unit, dump-bin), what made it harder than usual (campaign deadline, multi-site rollout, structural complexity, colour-critical brand match), what we delivered, what they took away. Aim for a quote that names a measurable outcome (rollout hit on date, all-store deployment, structural sign-off in one round) rather than a generic ‘great service’. ]”

Common questions.

What kinds of POS displays do you make?

We design and make free-standing display units (FSDUs), counter-top displays, dump-bins, totems, and shelf-edge fixtures — barker cards, wobblers, strut cards. Every structure is engineered in our cardboard engineering studio, printed on the B1 5-colour press, and finished on the Bobst line, all under one roof in Stockport.

Do you handle the structural design, or do I need to supply a CAD file?

Either route works. Most POS briefs come in as a creative concept or a retail-context requirement, and our cardboard engineering studio designs the structure from there — CAD model, white-board prototype, sign-off, cutter die. If you already have a structural CAD file, we’ll engineer it for production-readiness and ship-flat efficiency before going to plate.

Do POS units ship flat for in-store assembly?

Wherever the structure allows. Ship-flat assembly collapses freight cost and warehousing footprint vs. fully-assembled displays, and it’s how multi-site retail rollouts hit deployment windows. Some structures — heavy bases, pre-glued shrouds — ship pre-assembled or part-assembled where the structural brief calls for it.

What's the minimum order quantity for a POS run?

[TBC — POS is typically lower-volume than carton runs; one-off campaign work, short runs, and high-volume rollouts are all handled. Confirm typical MOQ tiers per format — FSDU, counter-top, dump-bin — once Gordon supplies the figures.]

What's a typical lead time from brief to despatch?

Structural design adds time vs. a stock-shape carton — most jobs run brief → CAD model → white-board prototype within [X] working days, then into print and finish production scheduling once the structure is signed off. Total brief-to-despatch timeline depends on complexity, run quantity, finishes, and current press scheduling — we share a timeline with every quote.

Got a campaign that needs a display?

Send us a brief, a creative concept, or a sketch on the back of an artwork file. We’ll come back with a structural direction, a quote, a sample timeline, and a press slot.
