Point of Sale Displays
Overview
Point of Sale (POS) displays are fixtures used in retail environments to highlight products at checkout areas, counters, or high-traffic locations within a store. These displays are designed to improve product visibility and encourage impulse purchases by presenting items in a structured and accessible format.
Typical environments where POS displays are used include:
Retail checkout counters
Supermarkets and convenience stores
Electronics and technology retail stores
Cosmetic and beauty retail environments
Promotional retail campaigns and seasonal displays
Because POS displays must integrate with existing shelving, counters, or product packaging dimensions, they are typically custom fabricated to specific layouts or brand display designs.
Custom Manufactured to Your Drawings
Point of Sale displays are often produced to brand specifications or store fixture requirements, making custom fabrication essential.
We manufacture POS display components from:
CAD drawings and design files
Customer sketches or product layout concepts
Physical samples of existing displays
Prototype or concept display units
Repeat production runs for retail chains
All components are manufactured in-house using precision machining and fabrication processes. This allows accurate production of display trays, signage panels, product compartments, and structural components.
Most POS displays are therefore drawing-led fabrication projects rather than off-the-shelf products.
Typical Applications
Point of Sale displays are commonly used for:
Countertop product display stands
Checkout impulse purchase displays
Cosmetic and beauty product displays
Electronics accessory display stands
Promotional retail product displays
Brochure and leaflet holders
Branded countertop merchandising units
Seasonal retail promotional displays
These displays are designed to organise products, improve visibility, and support retail merchandising strategies.
Recommended Materials for Point of Sale Displays
Perfect for producing complex interior panels, seat backs, dash components, and protective trims. It delivers a durable, hard-wearing finish that stands up to daily passenger use while remaining lightweight and cost-effective to manufacture in volume.
Polycarbonate is a high-impact, virtually unbreakable material perfect for bus windows and safety barriers, providing excellent clarity, strength, and long-term durability.
Acrylic is a clear, rigid material ideal for bus barriers and interior panels, offering excellent optical clarity, a smooth professional finish, and good weather resistance for long-term use.
PVC is a durable, lightweight material suited to internal bus panels, offering good impact resistance, moisture resistance, and easy fabrication for clean, low-maintenance interiors.

Key Performance Requirements
Mechanical
POS displays must maintain stability while supporting products and repeated handling.
Typical mechanical considerations include:
Structural rigidity for loaded displays
Impact resistance from customer interaction
Smooth edges for safe handling
Scratch resistance for long-term visual appearance
Dimensional accuracy for product compartments
Environmental
Retail environments introduce conditions that displays must withstand.
Environmental considerations include:
Resistance to cleaning chemicals
Stability under indoor lighting exposure
Long-term surface clarity or colour retention
Resistance to minor impacts or handling damage
Material Selection Summary
For most POS display applications, acrylic is widely used due to its clarity and visual presentation quality. It provides a clean, transparent appearance that allows products to remain clearly visible.
PETG may be selected when thermoforming or complex shapes are required.
Polycarbonate is used where impact resistance is a priority, particularly in high-traffic environments.
PVC may be used for cost-sensitive retail display systems where transparency is not essential.
Material selection depends on display design, durability requirements, and visual presentation goals.
Recommended Materials
A common material for POS displays due to its high clarity and polished finish.
Advantages:
Excellent transparency for product visibility
Good surface finish for branded displays
Easy to machine and polish
Limitations:
Lower impact resistance compared with polycarbonate
Design & Installation Considerations
Several factors should be considered when designing POS displays:
Product size and weight
Number of product compartments
Stability when fully loaded
Access for product restocking
Integration with branding graphics
Compatibility with countertop or shelf space
Designing displays with these considerations ensures functionality while maintaining strong visual presentation.
Alternative Options:
All components used in this application are manufactured in-house using controlled, drawing-led production processes. We do not supply generic or off-the-shelf products. Each part is produced to specification to meet defined mechanical, environmental, and installation requirements.
