Which guide should I read first?
If you are choosing a format, start with counter display versus shelf ready packaging. If you know the format, read the sizing guide.
Do the guides cover retailer requirements?
One guide covers what store buyers and managers usually check. Always follow the specific guidance your buyer gives you.
Can I ask a question about a guide?
Yes. Call, email or message us on WhatsApp and quote the guide title.
Are the measurements in the guides exact?
They are worked examples. Your proof is drawn to your own product size.
Do the guides apply to small brands?
Yes. Most of our customers are small and growing UK brands placing their first displays.
Will you add more guides?
We add guides when the same question comes up often enough to deserve a full answer.
Can I share a guide with my designer?
Yes. Send them the link. The board and header guides are written with designers in mind.
Do the guides mention prices?
Only the starting price. Every display is priced by email on its own size, board and quantity.
Where can I get a quote after reading?
Every guide has a quote box in the sidebar, and the quote page takes full details and artwork.
