PDQ Shelf Tray

The details

PDQ Shelf Tray

Our PDQ shelf trays are the shelf-ready format retailers increasingly require — a printed corrugated tray that ships loaded with product, slides straight onto the retail shelf, and starts selling without a single unit being hand-stocked. The perforated front tears away cleanly at the store, turning the shipping tray into a branded display in one motion. For CPG brands selling into grocery, convenience, and club channels, PDQ trays cut labor at the store level, which is exactly why buyers favor brands that supply them.

Printing runs flexo direct-to-board for economical high-volume programs or litho lamination when the shelf presence needs photographic color, with the tray front, sidewalls, and interior all printable so the display stays branded as it sells down. We print retailer-required markings — barcodes, case counts, orientation arrows — exactly where compliance guides want them. Tear perforations are die-cut and tested so the front strips away in one clean piece, not a ragged edge that embarrasses the brand.

Construction is E-flute corrugated as standard for a thin wall that maximizes product facings within the planogram, stepping up to B-flute for heavier jars and bottles. We size every tray to your retailer’s shelf dimensions and case-count requirements, and we engineer the perforation strength so trays survive the distribution chain but open easily at the store. Dividers, front lips, and angled fronts keep product faced and contained through the full sell-through.

PDQ trays suit brands whose retailers ask for shelf-ready packaging — and brands that want to be easier to stock than the competition. Every order includes a free mockup so you can see your tray to spec before printing, plus unlimited free revisions. Ready to make your product the easiest one on the shelf to merchandise?
