Custom Printed Counter Display Units

Description

Bespoke Counter Display Units for Retail Promotions

Counter display units are compact point-of-sale displays designed to sit on counters, tills, reception desks, trade counters, and checkout areas. They help present smaller products in a neat, branded format, making them easier for customers to notice, browse and pick up.

These units are designed for short-term promotional use, including product launches, seasonal campaigns, checkout displays, trade counter promotions and exhibition stands.

At BEE 4, we manufacture and supply in-house, allowing us to offer exceptionally competitive pricing with no middleman costs while keeping control over print quality, finishing and turnaround.

Material Options for Counter Display Units

Correx Counter Display Units

Corrugated Correx is often the best choice for short-term retail promotions where you want a practical balance between print quality, display strength and cost. It works well for product launches, checkout displays, trade counters, exhibitions, and seasonal campaigns where units need to look branded, remain lightweight, and be cost-effective across multiple locations.

Correx is a strong option for cosmetics, small boxed products, packaged promotional goods and leaflet displays. It is also a sensible choice for wholesale or bulk counter-display unit orders where pricing matters, but the display still needs to carry full-colour branded graphics.

Cardboard Counter Display Units

Cardboard counter top display units are a good fit for lightweight retail promotions, campaign giveaways, printed leaflet holders and small boxed product displays. They suit campaigns where the display is used for a limited promotion, product trial, new product launch, or seasonal point-of-sale campaign.

A cardboard counter display unit can work particularly well for tray-with-header designs, stepped displays, and compact retail counter displays where the focus is on printed branding and easy product presentation.

Foamex Counter Display Units

Foamex can be a better option when you want a display with a more rigid feel or a cleaner board-style appearance. It can suit branded counter displays for trade counters, showroom counters, exhibitions and retail environments where the unit needs to feel more substantial than a standard short-term promotional display.

Foamex may also be worth considering for display units that need strong printed graphics, a smooth visual finish and a more solid presentation for the product range.

Available CDU Styles

Because each counter display unit is made to order, we can tailor the format to your product and campaign requirements. Common options that our clients order frequently include: 

Stepped Display Units

A stepped cardboard or Correx display can help present multiple products clearly across different levels. This is useful where you want the shopper to see each product without items being hidden behind one another.

Tray with Header

A tray with a printed header is a popular format for compact retail products, promotional giveaways, boxed items and branded counter campaigns. The header provides space for your logo, offer, product name, or campaign message.

Shelved Counter Display Units

Shelved counter display units are useful when you need to organise small products into clear rows or categories. This can work well for cosmetic products, small boxed goods and branded retail ranges.

Compartment Displays

Compartment displays are useful when products need to be separated by type, colour, flavour, size or campaign offer. Compartments can help keep the counter neat while making it easier for shoppers to browse.

Finishing Options

The finish you choose can make a real difference to how your counter retail display units looks in a retail space. Lamination helps protect the printed surface during handling, transport and day-to-day use on counters, while also giving the display a more polished appearance.

BEE 4 offers matt and gloss lamination options for custom-printed counter display units.

Matt lamination gives the print a softer, lower-shine appearance, which can work well for premium retail branding, cosmetic displays and designs where you want less glare under shop lighting.

Gloss lamination gives the print a brighter, shinier finish, which can help colours, product graphics and promotional messages stand out on busy counters and checkout areas.

Full Colour Digital Print for Strong Retail Branding

Printing is produced using HP Latex R2000 technology with eco-friendly water-based inks. This gives your CDU bright graphics while supporting a cleaner print process than many traditional ink systems.

We can print full-coverage graphics, logos, brand colours, QR codes, product imagery, and promotional messages.  BEE 4 also has in-house colour-matching software, ensuring exceptional colour accuracy so your display units truly reflect your brand image.

Our CDU Production Process

Ordering bespoke counter display units can feel more involved than buying a standard off-the-shelf display, so we keep the process crystal-clear from the start. Our expert print team will take the time to understand your requirements, check artwork and confirm the best production route before your units are manufactured. Here’s a completely transparent breakdown of what to expect: 

1. Tell Us What You Need

Start by sending us the details of your project, including the product being displayed, the quantity required, preferred material, display style and any size requirements. You’ll be assigned a dedicated account manager who can advise you on any areas of uncertainty and provide a bespoke quotation that aligns precisely with your requirements. 

2. Artwork Check and Proof

Once we have your artwork, we check the file before production. This includes reviewing the artwork format, image quality, logo clarity, sizing, layout, print coverage, positioning of key graphics, QR codes, text legibility and any obvious issues that could affect the finished display.

You will then receive a proof to review before manufacture. This gives you the chance to check the layout, branding, product graphics and promotional messaging before your counter display units go into production.

3. Print and Finish

Your counter display units are printed in-house using HP Latex R2000 technology with eco-friendly water-based inks. Depending on your chosen specification, we can apply matt or gloss lamination and produce the units with single or double-sided print.

4. Assembly and Dispatch

Your display units are produced, finished, and supplied pre-assembled, ready for use upon arrival. Standard production is usually 5-7 working days from order placement, with next-day UK delivery as standard after production.
